When Elvis, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins and Johnny Cash were at Sun Records in Memphis so was this guy.........

Thanks to The Cramps I was turned on to a lot of these old songs that I probably never would have heard otherwise. There's a compilation called Songs the Cramps Taught Us that has a lot of these originals on it. I think there's 4 volumes altogether.

Good stuff up there.

I grew up in a family of hillbillies mom was from Oklahoma dad was from Missouri, mom played the piano while dad played the guitar, all my sisters could sing. I picked up the harmonica as a little kid. Holidays were excuses to pick n' grin so we did. Dad was a big Hank Williams fan, yep, life was good.

Dad was thrown out of the ring vs the carny wrestler he landed at my mom's feet, talking a county fair, gotta love it. She helped him up, love at first sight, ha~~~~

Charlie Feathers one of the founding fathers of Sun Records. Love his stuff, this my fav.

I am not a cowboy or out of the south, actually a Cali guy who simply loves music and have this weird trip about the origins of things that interest me. I must always start at the beginning. When it comes to music you must start with them old blues and jazz and country, all that stuff is from the 20's it all started there as far as recorded music goes, obviously all that stuff was played long before records came into existence.

I like to mix, yep.....old fashion cassette tapes, having a tape deck in my Pontiac. One of my first tapings was this mix, The Sun recordings of Elvis, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins, Johnny Cash, Charlie Feathers, and this cat, Harmonica Frank Floyd. Since then I have mixed over 5000 tapes, it's all there, all with some theme. All trying to tell a musical story. Yep, I had a plan.

Frank Floyd

In 1953 this cat walked into Sun Records he wanted to record a record. So he did, and as we can hear......stunning. BUT....he never recorded again and that is a shame. He definately had .....IT.

Can't talk early Sun Records and not mention D.A.Hunt.

Nowadays you almost never hear Roy Clark's name mentioned among the great guitarists, but no list of the greats is complete without him. If you ever wondered why the guitar is considered a percussion instrument just watch this vid to the end. Amazing.
