Thread Name: The Other 50's
Subject: RE: The Other 50's
Hey, Chuck Berry!!!! Man, he was #1....

Then Buddy Holly, he was the nerdy Bob Dylan in the makin'...

And mah man, Link Wray, was the heaviest of the heavy...

And Smokey, ahhhh, could he ever smoke up the joint, 'er what???

But there was some stuff happenin' that a lot of folks weren't hearin' like Elmore Jame and Lightnin' Hopkins,,,

Oh sure, the folkies were in tune with the Waevers, the Kingston Trio and Woody but even then there was a passin' of the torch to Pete Seegar and ina couple years to Bob Dylan...

But it was also a time fir folks like the Belltones... Remember their 45??? On one side it was "Be Mine" an' on the other "I've Had It"????

Yeah, the 50's had a lot of demensions, not all that pop....

But, hey, them days were the pre-worship days unless it was Elvis or Fabian???

An' how about Smokey.... Oh, oh, oh.........
