I should add that had I known that my one of great unsung heroes, Gary Myrick, was going to be on-stage, I would have flown out there in a heartbeat to attend.
Hello all...no, please remain seated,
To say that this is cool is to merely state the obvious. Link Wray had metric fuck-tons of cool.
BTW...I may have shared this before, but...there's a you tube video of his-Link-ness describing how he wrote Rumble:

Damn that's cool. Rumble is one of the first songs I learned after Pipeline.
That is what heavy metal should have sounded like.

I bet that was a killer show. Link was the man.
Still got the swagger. I saw last year's "Rumble" at the Redwood Bar & Grill. Myrick was on stage along with Carla Olson, Davie Allan, and bunch of others.
Cody's has a real good dive vibe. But the mexican food is unremarkable to say the least. Best I can say about it is that it'll make a turd. They don't pour very strong drinks either.
First thing I learned on guitar was "Bonanza". "Wipeout", both drums and guitar, came around the same time.
Last time I saw Myrick, he was parked at the curb in front of Atomic Records. He was reading the newspaper in his convertible. His girlfriend was flipping through records along side me. I was trying to find a clean copy of Jerry Jeff Walker's self-titled Decca debut. She asked me which Wackers LP I would recommend. This led to other, more interesting, stuff happening.
