    Default A blast from the past

    Ok, I know Cab Calloway has nothing to do with guitars, but O-M-G!!! His sound was AWESOME!!!

    Amazing how Rock evolved from swing

    Hidee hidee ho! Another classic find.

    Could you imagine a drop tuned guitar through a Mesa stack back then. People would have fainted.

    I also noticed they didn't have affirmative action back then...no whites in the band.

    Keeley Smith was another woman that had some pipes on her. Ive always liked her as a singer, but Louie is my favorite singer of all time.
