Thread Name: BS: Elvis - 75th Birthday
Subject: RE: BS: Elvis
Actually, refs, I did mention it over at "Big Mick's" birthday thread...
Elvis meant alot to me in the 50's... His mini-LP 45 record with "Hound Dog", "Don't Be Cruel", "I Want You, I need You, I love You" and "Be Mine" on it was the firsy 45 record I ever owned... I got it and a record player for Christmas in 1956... From there on, I had graduated from the sandbox to the music box... Before long, I owned at least a half a dozen Elvis 45s...
Then I heard Link Wray and thought to myself "Sheet Fire, I think I'd like to learn up some of that stuff" and got me a little drum kit and, like they say, the rest is history...
