Cool... Charlie Ryan I grew up next door to Charlie (I was a kid... he was not!) I think Charlie has gosh.... 30 years on me. At any rate... He's almost retired, but still plays pretty regularly.

After having not seen him for the better part of the last 20years... He appeared at out doorstep a few weeks back. With a desire to remaster, mix new tracks into things.. all that stuff. At any rate... that project is complete and its pretty darn cool. All the Hot Rod tunes, Rocket Race.. all that and yea... there is a real Hot Rod lincoln. He still has that darn thing! Tours it sometimes, shows etc. He even had it at Hastings for the Cd release... what a ham bone!

So the only point of this was... Charlie is alive and well and has new CD on the market! Charlie is a good man and it was my pleasure to find him healthy and productive. As I recall.. I think Charlies wife Ruthie had more than a bit to do with the tune!
