You lucky Dog! Enjoy the night, I'm totally jealerous!!!

A buddy of mine has a really bitchin' Bootleg DVD of a concert in Japan- Those guys and gals go absolutely gonzo for that stuff over there, a huge cult following for all that is Rockabilly and Hot Rods. So cool that all those miles away, they appreciate and immerse themselves in our culture, likely more than we do ourselves!

BAJ · BRANTFORD, ONT

Everyone knows that rock a billy and hot rods go naturally together. I'm pumped.

Modfather · VICTORIA HARBOUR, ONT

The Royal Crowns were always good. I don't know if they are still together.

Bradshaw · NORWOOD, ONT

And of coarse we have Ronnie Hawkins in the area. we can't forget him...

Chris Stapley · CAMPBELLFORD, ONT

Ever run in to Ronnie in the neighbourhood Terry?

He used to pop in to our shop occasionally, he's a gear head too.

I knew Ronnie as the guy who built the 27 T roadster with the 60 hp

flathead that Cliff Love had long before I knew he was a singer,lol...

Yup, teddy Fury and Danny Bartley are still rocking with the Royal Crowns... Teddy is also the head bartender at the famous Horseshoe tavern on Queen.

Chris Stapley · CAMPBELLFORD, ONT

Are you possibly thinking of the surf band called the Von Drats?

one of my close friends did the artwork for their one and only album...

on George St.

Wow, didn't think there were so many rock a billy fans on this site. I can listen to this stuff all day! Too bad someone wouldn't organize a rock a billy festival in Ontario.

Chris58 · WATERFORD, ONT

I've never even seen a "rockabilly" section in a music store. Sirius should have a station dedicated to it. Little Steven's Underground Garage, Elvis and sometimes one of the country stations will run some old style rockabilly and some new stuff. But a dedicated channel, man that would be cool.

I highly suggest trying this link to the Motorbilly Radio show,this is Del Villereal from Detroit,he is the music on the basement during the Autorama in the Cobo Hall and a real nice genuine guy... I listen every day! His show isn't like the typical streaming radio show, it is new all of the time, he does requests quickly as well. If you like the free version' I highly recommend the paid for VIP version too! it gives access to thousands of streaming radio stations with no less than twenty Rockabilly and Surf stations too.. Scotia Surfer is another favourite.

GREAT LINK CHRIS...thanks!

Doesn't Del do music reviews for Ol Skool Rods/ Kar Culture Deluxe?

Chris Stapley · CAMPBELLFORD, ONT

Thanks, I really enjoy Del's shows either over the net or live. I had forgotten to mention, he is also the lead DJ for Viva Las Vegas as well...

As for reviewing the magazine, wouldn't be too surprised if he does?

That I cannot tell you Chris, I rarely read those magazines.. Had a good friend taken advantage of

by Alan "the snake" Mayes their so called managing editor. They still to this day use some of his artwork

that they never paid for on tshirts and in magazine features ...

But that's another story!

Chris.

Seeker1056 · DOURO, ONT

love rockabilly - never hear of anyone playin around here

as to Mr Hawkins - been to four of his concerts and never heard him sing - he was always too drunk or stoned to play by the time the cover band was done

have sat and had drinks with him while his son played though

Chris Stapley · CAMPBELLFORD, ONT

There are a lot of great local rockabilly acts actually,more in Ontario and Quebec than most can imagine... Ken I will call you the next time we are going to Peterpatch to see one and I will swing by and grab you...

Seeker1056 · DOURO, ONT

Hey Chris - that would be awesome - thank you
