Smiley Burnett! Now that's going back a ways! to the likes of Gene Autry, Ray Whitley, (with and for whom Gibson designed and built the first SJ-200 guitar in 1937), Jimmy Wakely, Roy Rogers. All the great "Singin' Cowboys". ::tu:: J.O'.

I love vinyl records. My parents put together a good collection at one time. To listen to it, I have a completely modern vinyl turntable. The old one broke down about a year ago, but recently we bought an Audio-Technica Fully Automatic Belt-Drive Stereo Turntable. Here is a review of our turntable, if anyone is interested.

You might like Sid King, who was an early “Rockabilly” pioneer from the 50’s. When he wasn’t performing with his band he was a barber (his real name is Sid Erwin) who owned a barber shop in my hometown, and used to cut my hair. The barber shop was a mini-museum with a lot of memorabilia including “bills” from the Big D Jamboree and the Louisiana Hayride, among others. One of which had his band, Sid King and the Fivestrings, as the featured headline act, and one of the second bill, opening acts was some guy named Elvis Presley. ::woot:: Sid’s brother Billy was also in the band (lead guitar) and also a barber in the same shop. Often when not cutting hair they jammed in the shop.

If your religion requires that you hate someone, you need a new religion.

When the people fear their government, that is tyranny. When government fears the people, that is freedom.

They were rock and roll pioneers, unfortunately unknown by most. For those interested here’s some more about Sid King and the band. http://www.rockabillyhall.com/SidKing1.html At least into the 1990s they were still touring occasionally, mainly in Europe and England where they were more well known. Sid was an avid bass fisherman and retired to East Texas sometime around 2000. Billy continued cutting hair for several years but sadly passed away a couple of years ago. The last time I went by the old barber shop it had closed.
