Hey, great fun, Steve! Back in the 50's, I remember going absolutely nuts the first time I heard Gee, by the Crows. I'd lie on my bed at night with my portable radio on my chest (which I still... both the radio and the chest) using my arms for antennae to pull in WFOX in Milwaukee. They had a rhythm and blues station that broadcast from a record store there. Around 1954,when my friends went to Marquette University in Milwaukee, I went to visit them and while they were in class, headed off to find the record store. I had imagined it as being enormous, having dozens of records by the Crows and the Penguins, the Gladiolas, the Magnificents, the Chords and all the other groups. The store was about 10' by 15'... nothing like I'd imagined. But, I confidently walked up to the counter and said, I'd like Gee, by the Crows and the guy reached around behind him and pulled out a copy from a rack on the wall. Pure Paradise! I was used to going into my local record store and staring down the middle-aged woman (probably in her thirties) who always snickered when I asked for a record. They ALWAYS had to order them, and ALWAYS doubted that such a record would exist. Then, they'd try to sell me a Pat Boone or MaGuire sisters "cover" instead. As if I was un-cool enough to want the MaGuire sisters doing I Understand, instead of the Four Tunes (with Marie on the flip side.) You're talking my life here, Mr. Latimer...:-)
