Myrick was on stage along with Carla Olson, Davie Allan, and bunch of others. <br /><br />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. <br /><br />First thing I learned on guitar was "Bonanza". "Wipeout", both drums and guitar, came around the same time. <br /><br />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.<br /><br />VRAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921382.post-67964439518825087282016-05-24T16:07:27.037-04:002016-05-24T16:07:27.037-04:00I bet that was a killer show.

To say that...Hello all...no, please remain seated,<br /><br />To say that this is cool is to merely state the obvious. Link Wray had metric fuck-tons of cool. <br /><br />BTW...I may have shared this before, but...there's a you tube video of his-Link-ness describing how he wrote Rumble:<br /><br />https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kKjjb8RmcgA<br /><br /><br />Regards,<br />RichD<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921382.post-73460109817623067172016-05-24T09:10:21.848-04:002016-05-24T09:10:21.848-04:00I should add that had I known that my one of great...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.steve simelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13247393763004076992noreply@blogger.com
