Here’s a free range chick

This just in from Eric Carpenter:   Hey, I’ve been meaning to send this for a while for the “Chicks Dig Records” section (I enjoy regularly).   It’s my daughter, actually, but she was only one year old at the time, and she’s three now (showing you how long I’ve been putting off sending it.   lol.)     Anyway,   enjoy!

Don’t get around much anymore

Here are two cover variations for “Night Out Music for Stay-At-Homes”   A nice compilation by Coral recording artists Nat King Cole, Billy Taylor, Errol Garner, etc.   Either one works for me.   Blonde or brunette, obviously staying at home means slipping into something comfortable.     One has company too.

The good die young

(Though it’s not on this record) I’ve been thinking about Eddie Cochran (October 2, 1938 – April 17, 1960) and Summertime Blues (1958).   Here’s “Remember Me…” a cool FRENCH Lp on Liberty Records from Uncle Gil’s Rockin’ Archives!     Summertime Blues is ranked number 73 in Rolling Stone’s 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.     It’s been covered tons.   From The Who (on Live at Leeds, 1970) to the Beach Boys to Blue Cheer and Bruce Springsteen.   Cochran was just 21 when he died in April 1960, in a road accident during his British tour.     In 1987, Cochran was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
