I've been playing the flip side of Rusty's The Railroad Runs Throught The Middle Of The House for years and it's still a favorite. We had the 45rpm when I was a kid and I loved listening to that song about the railroad with it's train sound effects. It wasn't till I was fully involved in music as an adult that I turned the record over and noticed Pink Cadillac on the other side. It's a rockin' rockabilly song that's got great lyrics. I've been playing it ever since.

I've found much of his recorded material over the years.

At a music in the parks gig, years ago, I had one of Rusty's ex-bass players come up to me after having heard me play Pink Cadillac. He said he was so happy to hear that the young people were still playing those songs. Well, we were playing but there wasn't but a half dozen folks in the whole park and he must have been the only one listening. :)

Rusty has lived near here, about an hour away, in North Bend, WA for a long time. I know some folks who live in N.B. who knew him and have played music with him.

I wish I could have done the same before he rode off into the sunset in his pink Cadillac.
