Rockabilly and Beatles

Hi -

The more I hear of this devil's music called Rockabilly, the more I see how easy it is to draw a line from the likes of Eddie Cochrane, Johnny Burnette, and all the others to the Beatles. Most obviously by George's adoration of Carl Perkins, and the guys liking Eddie Cochrane and Gene Vincent so much. It's got so much energy, the same kind the Beatles had on stage in the early 60s.

I just found out that AOL members have access to a billion internet radio stations for free. There's a rockabilly station on there that I found today - it's pretty happening! I'm alternating between beatles-a-rama.com and that one.

Gives me a case of the just can't help its and my feet won't keep still!

(I'd love to find a way to "run a tape recorder" of this Aol station, to have for times I'm not connected, and also to practice/play along with.

Oh, and what about the teacher: Tony Sheridan. Some discussion here: http://www.dmbeatles.com/forums/b-cc/m-1149666572/s-15/#num22

And listen to Tony playing I Like Love on my podcast (I hope it's still there!). This is a recording from 1959. Now, tell me you hear the Beatles! http://bobbr.podomatic.com

Blimey, you do, don't you! Did they know of Tony Sheridan before they played with him in Germany?

Bobber:
That's quite possible. Tony had been on the tv series Oh Boy since 1959.

BlueMeanie:
He seems to have been around a bit, without having any real mainstream success. I doubt I'd ever have heard of him had it not been for The Beatles.
