Wink had a TV show called Space Cadets in the 50s. I was on as a kid and got my Mars Patrol "ray gun".
He also hosted Dance Party here in Memphis.

I was turned on to Duane Eddy as a teenager when the high school band would play Rebel Rouser at pep rallys! I asked he band director what was that and when he told me I ran out and bought Twangy Guitar!

Jim, I remember how much fun it was just listening to the Top 40! It was a great diversified list that opened my eyes to the different genres of music.You could hear Elvis one minute Perry Como the next and Tennessee Ernie Ford the next! I know it must have been a hoot spinning those discs!

Love the Page/ Plant posts!!

I know Bill never believed that Brian was murdered

I know John Lennon once talked about the fuzz guitar feedback that starts "I Feel Fine" being discovered by accident, but I believe they did that deliberately on the record. 

From all I've read John laid his guitar against the speaker for a tera break and that's when the reverb. He was so amazed he wanted to use it.

 

Thanks Aflem, I always look forward to a new one!!
 

Not to highjack the thread but anyone ever see Rowen Atkinson do his interview with Elton John?
