I was daydreaming of his guitar playing when I suddenly thought about my weird online friends and said, "ah ha! I bet I can find some believers here!"
Well... does anybody raise their hand?

Link Wray
I'm a fan of Link Wray, and I don't think that I know anyone in my "real people life" that share this interest.

Re: Link Wray
Yeah, and Rumble was banned from the radio for being too suggestive. I think it's hysterical that people cover Run Chicken Run since they used to play that one to make people leave the club. Ahh, how times have changed.

Re: Link Wray
Got to be...even the jazzy font on the record sleeve ties him up with The Ventures' jazzy font logo and The Ventures covered "RUMBLE" too (album Rock & Roll Forever 1972 with Harvey Mandel on lead). Rumble is a good number to get the vibrato in my amp going again!

Way cool! Personal faves are "Jack the Ripper" and "Climbing a High Wall".
