Eddie Cochran


Last weekend at an antique store near my cabin,I got a record from Rockabilly star Eddie Cochran.The album is called Summer Time Blues.His career only lasted a few years due to his death in a car crash in England in 1960. Also in the car was Gene Vincent and songwriter Sharon Sheeley they both survived but suffered serious injuries. Eddie Cochran was also from Albert Lea Minnesota RIP Eddie.

RIP Ronnie James Dio.



In Memory of the great Ronnie James Dio. I'm listening to the Live Rainbow record I got from my uncle. Rainbow On Stage. The cover has a giant rainbow that spans 40ft across the stage and 29ft high in the middle. It is a good live album with many of Rainbow's classic songs like Kill the King,Man on a silver mountain and Sixteen century greensleeves. It is also one of my favorite live albums.
