Thanks Dean, for a playlist fit not only for general 50s/Cusp Rock and
R&B music fans but also, to some extent, for connoisseurs of these two
period genres.

1. SAN-HO-ZAY, Freddy King

One Of his very best! Here's where it sits on my 1961 instrumental faves
list

1.. Hideaway Freddy King
2. Last Night Mar-Keys
3. You Can’t Sit Down Philip Upchurch Combo
4. San-Ho-Zay Freddy King
5. Let There Be Drums Sandy Nelson
6.. One Mint Julep Ray Charles
7. Theme From Dixie Duane Eddy
8. Surfer’s Stomp Mar-Kets
9. Jive Harp Tim Whitsett
10. Stick Shift Duals

Post by Dean
2. SHIRLEY LEE, Ricky Nelson

So many "covers" and remakes fall so VERY way short of the originals
it's always nice to come across one that bucks the trend--as Ricky does
here against the "only-slightly-better" IMO Bobby Lee Trammell original

Post by Dean
9. HANG UP MY ROCK & ROLL SHOES, Chuck Willis

Revived by Jerry Lee Lewis in 1960 but his version can't compare with
the much superior Willis that rates a 9 with me

Post by Dean
13. LOVE YOU SO, Ron Holden & The Thunderbirds

Never really "connected" with this one---I always much preferred the "My
Babe" flipside

Post by Dean
19. MISERLOU, Dick Dale & The Del-Tones

Another of my fave instrumentals--this time from 1962

1. Green Onions Booker T. & The MG’s
2. Misirlou Dick Dale & Del-Tones
3. Soul Twist King Curtis
4. Wipe Out Surfaris
5. Cleo’s Mood Jr Walker & All Stars
6..Pipeline Chantays
7. Let’s Go (Pony) Routers
8. Rinky Dink Dave “Baby” Cortez
9. Ballad Of Paladin Duane Eddy - 1962
10.Nut Rocker B.Bumble & Stingers – 1962

Post by Dean
21. DANCE BY THE LIGHT OF THE MOON, The Olympics

Over here Vogue issued this one under the throwback title "Dance With A
Dolly (With A Hole In Her Stocking)" in 1961

Post by Dean
26. PACHUKO HOP, Chuck Higgins

One of my top 1952 instrumentals

1. Juke Little Walter
2. Night Train Jimmy Forest
3. Pachuko Hop Chuck Higgins
4. X-Temporaneous Boogie Camille Howard
5. Blow Blow Blow Big Jay McNeely

The vocal flipside on this featuring the future Johnny "Guitar" Watson
is even better IMO

Post by Dean
28. BE MY BABY, The Ronettes

Reminds me that it'll soon be time to be blasting out some of my
Christmas faves--near the top of which list is always these gals classic
version of "Sleigh Ride"

Post by Dean
42. MARY LOU, Ronnie Hawkins & The Hawks

Shame on you Ronnie claiming the writing credit on this classic Young
Jessie song (btw the "Magill" co-writer was Jacqueline Magill--who
Ronnie claimed to have never met--the girlfriend at the time of Morris
Levy head of Roulette Records)

8. DYNAMITE, Brenda Lee

-----------
I never heard this record before, and I'd always assumed she was called
"Little Miss Dynamite" because she was such a dynamic singer. Amazing
to find she sounded exactly the same at age 12 as she did as an adult.
(Those lyrics sure wouldn't fly for a 12-year-old performer today.)

Brenda's rich and charming Southern (Atlanta) accent when singing,
added to her appeal in my opinion (she grew up poor, which accentuates
accents everywhere - only working-class bred Londoners have that
famous Michael Caine Cockney accent :)

Tho I wasn't born in London I lived there from an early age long enough
to qualify as a Londoner (and knowing how VERY much class means to
you,yes I was definitely 101% lower working class)----but I'm not sure
how much my accent changed to that of a true London BORN Cockney.

Several members on here have either met me in person or talked on phone
so they'd know

How about simply asking your partner or a friend/acquaintance?

I/We sincerly appreciate you revealing not long ago your English
Midlands Birmingham origins (120 miles from London). The working-class
accent from that area is known as Brummie; might that be your accent?

You're have a Brummie in your tummy if Roger ever catches up with you in

That means you arrived in London as a child, Roger.
Which, yes, means you would more likely have a London accent.

When folk move to an area of the country, or world, that has a
different accent, the adoption of that accent depends on your age.
If you have left high school before moving, your accent likely won't
change much for the rest of your life.

You left quite a few other occupations out like I was a print worker,a
street market stall holder and several other jobs at various times.

I never was a "school bus driver" as such---I was a licenced taxi driver
who happened to drive an 8 seater minibus and fulfilled a daily school
transport contract (if you're gonna analyse people in your usual
obsessive way it helps a good deal to get your basic facts right)

They would indeed be easily impressed in that case but I don't believe
that is the case. As usual you are just fooling yourself

Will be embarking on a British Isle cruise in late August of '25!!
Will be in London for a day or two before traveling to Southampton to
shove off to a couple of stops in Scotland and pinballing back down to
Belfast, Dublin, and then spending my 72nd birthday in the Cavern Club
in Liverpool!!
Hopefully, I'll be honored to meet up with the great Ford, baby!!!

Spinning on from what I just wrote to Geoff,I have only ever been in
Liverpool once when I was a taxi driver and took some folk up to
Manchester one day. Being only 20 miles down the road from there I drove
to Liverpool just to say I had been there at least once---and yes I
passed right outside the old Cavern club premises.

I did never find the real object of my visit there tho---to see the
gates of Anfield,the home of the great Liverpool FC

Okay, please replace "school bus driver" with "school taxi minibus
driver". I think I got the basic facts right, but erred with the

nowhere near the watery "easily impressed" kind of characters that you

Thans, Roger. Having met you, I can attest that you, too, are decent, solid,
and friendly.

So fuck off with your inane sociology, Geoff. It doesn't impress anyone here,
which if you had any real sense of actual people you would have figured out
long ago.

Roger, is one of only two people in the history of this newsgroup to
have publicly threatened *potential* manslaughter of another member,
after having his ego offended in a *minor* spat arising out of the

Mark Dintenfass (of NYC working-class background I note :), you are a

Mark, your disgusting and pathetic post suggests that it's you that

In your mind, what am I obsessive about *for no good reason* ?

What is odd about having a security and enigmatic mask on the
