Wow! I must be a lot older than you folks. I can vividly recall listening to Bo Didly songs played on Radio CKLW Cincinati, Ohio, and just prior to him, I was listening to Bill Haley doing country songs live from a Buffalo, NY station, but I can't remeber the call letters. We could only get the stations after midnight, when the local stations went off the air. Picked up my first guitar when I was 12 (1952), the first song I learned to play was Mountain Dew, and at 14 I played back-up guitar with a local country band. Man were making big bucks then--I think we got $10 per person and played two jobs a month. Keep in mind, though, back then you could fill the gas tank of my father's 1949 Oldsmobile for $5.

Sweet memories,

Gary
