I was fooling around on YouTube and came across this fabulous Patsy Cline recording. This woman could be reading the dullest political diatribe on the planet and I'd there. This woman could sing the world's greatest ballads. A sad day when she died at age 30 in a plane crash with three other folks. First winner of the Arthur Godfrey Talent Scouts show. It's been over 60 years since she died and she's still the best!

5/5

Born 95 years ago today, Link Wray (who died in 2005), was a major influence in Rock history. Here is the 1958 recording of "Rumble" by Link Wray and His Ray Men that both Pete Townshend and Jimmy Page, among many others, list as the record that got them started.

A local band played this about 20 years ago, during a break (recorded). I asked who this was, and was a fan ever since. Link also had a native American Indian connection.

This one is a sinister sounding favorite.

As a young boy of 9-11 years of age remember listening to Patti Page. I thought she was incredible.

4/5

"I was dancin' with my darlin' to the Tennessee Waltz
When an old friend I happened to see
I introduced her to my loved one and while they were dancin'
My friend stole my sweetheart from me"
