tony was ahead of his time...he was the first on the bbc allowed to played an electric guitar......he rocked but remember rocks roots are seated in country music.......lonnie donegan can be consider a rockabilly artist couldn't he???some blue grass and sound country and speed it up...add some drums and what do you got???

I gotta admit, the Skiffle stuff (Lonnie Donegan, etc.) I have heard doesn't get my heartbeat up even 1 beat per minute. It's like listening to square dance music for me. I clearly don't have the keen ear that all those young teen-age Brits in 1955 did.

Does any skiffle have electric guitar? I don't remember hearing any. Maybe that's what's missing for me.

skiffle is sort of like blue grass from america is kind of what i figure with a banjo,a few acoustic guitars,a bass and  a washboard...rock island line was a fave skiffler tune....skiffle played a major part in englands jump on to the national charts...it was a build block for their rock and roll developement...i don't believe they were all trying to mimic the american 45 artists on the imported tunes but give them their own flair...music after all is an influence and a good musician can add himself without destroying the tune...woody guthries songs have been interpetrd many different ways..
tom dooley is a fave tune too...damn i gotta go watch big brother more later...

And for that I am grateful. Like I am to you for turning me on to rock-a-billy! I actually had an LP (yeah, that long ago) by Johnny Burnette, which I used to like a lot, but sort of forgot about it. But you're enthusiasm and sig sites have reawakened it ... this phase is lasting several months, which means it might stick!

tony says he was inspired by chris barber and lonnie tredmendously...the star club dvd is great buy it if you don't have it...
my introduction to rockabilly probally started when i was very young...i grew up listening to country music mostly...carl perkins was always great but i also listened to buck owens who has a rock sound to his music..he did a song called i've got a tiger by the tail,beware the tall dark stranger and the cover of the music city news.....i also listened to all johnny cashs work...he was my dads fave....i enjoy kris,merle,george and hank...
have you checked out the collins kids yet alex????or wanda jackson?gene vincents sister rhonda is hot too...

Anyone here from the States and likes to watch Monday Night Football?

One of the biggest rockabilly fans anywhere/anytime, and an awesome Rockabilly artist in his own right ... Brian Setzer (of the Stray Cats) is playing guitar with HWJr on the opening!

From "Gene and Eddie" - to Hank Williams Jr - to Monday Night Football ...
From "Gene and Eddie" to John and Paul (and maybe especially George) ...

It's a funny world.

But a great one!!

poor 'ol skiffle gettin' a bad rap...
I get a smile when I hear Donegan every once in a while

*sings* "does your chewing gum lose its flavor on the bedpost overnight..."
