I recall you saying that you was a music student once. What do you play as I play guitar, bass and the bugle. One thing I never mastered was reading and writing music, I understand musical theory circle of 5ths etc, scales and everything. However I play off tabs and by ear only.

I bet you will like this:

 
Going right back to the start in Britain, there were the TV shows 'Oh Boy' and '6.5 Special'. The house orchestra was Lord Rockingham's XI, who are widely known for 'Hoots Mon'. It featured home-grown rock&roll singers to rival Elvis. This is one of them...Jackie Dennis with 'Lah De Dah', with music by the Rockingham XI, which always sounded like a load of pots and pans being rattled...

OMG no, he has to be the most irritating person they could put on the TV.

When Jerry Lee Lewis came to Britain in 1958 with his 13 year old wife, who was also his cousin, he had to cancel his tour due to public opinion, and little Jackie Dennis played his dates instead!

Poster # 1969,
Thank you so much for the Crystals with all the excitement, and the "wall of sound" - surely arranged by Phil Spector?

First I've heard of that weird young boy - I guess that was entertainment in the days when Jerry Lee Lewis & Little Richard were forbidden to appear on UK TV shows.
Someone should find whoever organised such nonsense & have them arrested.

Jerry Lee was only doing Elvis country country ways - barred by the tabloids I would imagine, never the kids.
While Richard Penniman, God Rest his brilliant showmanship soul, was not known for or barred from TV for chasing young girls - he was considered too exciting for British youth, read Black, or so a biographer claimed.

When Little Richard first appeared on live stage shows black & white boys & girls joined in one mad frenzy of insane dancing - this had never happened before in America.
It was considered very disturbing to the elders -"Blacks & whites, have they gone mad?

The power of music and geniuses.
