You guys have an odd defintion of rock and roll back there.
Rock obviously meant something different on the west coast.

Ok, here's the acid test. (pun intended)

Which would you rather *dance* to.....

I don't dance but if I did it would be to their early pop songs.

Rock 'n Roll was born in Memphis Tennesee, on March 3, 1951. That's
the day that Sam Phillips recorded Ike Turner's "Rocket 88"- a 12 bar
blues that discographers generallly agree was the first actual rock 'n
roll record. The record was credited to Jackie Brentson and his Delta
Cats, but it was really Ike Turner's band and Jackie Brentson was his
sax player.

Bill Haley recorded a version of Rocket 88 in June of '51. Back in the
highly segregated early 50's, it was OK to buy a Bill Haley record in
a lot of places where it wouldn't be considered proper to buy a
recording by Ike Turner, so Bill Haley (who did Rock Around The Clock
a couple of years later) had a bit more commercial success with his
record, at this point, than did Ike Turner.

So that's the Memphis version. Thank Sam Phillips and Sun Records for
rock 'n roll, IMO.

What's Cleveland's claim to fame?

Rock music wasn't invented on the west coast, merely perfected here.
:-) The world is still waiting for somebody to top Seattle's own Jimi
Hendrix. :-) :-)

Outta here for the weekend.....

Have a good one!


What...no kisses & hugs?


XOXOXOXOX

How's that? Feel better?

No.. I'm appalled, but I'm sure Chuck appreciates your thoughts.


BTW, JimH wished Chuck a good weekend also. You might want to send a
smart-assed comment in his direction.

:)


JimH doesn't puppy dog anyone.

Yeah.... dance to that.....

Reminds me of the time that, as a joke on American Bandstand, Dick
Clark played the theme to Mission Impossible.... and it really was.

All the kids gave a go at it for about three bars and then turned
around to look at him with unabashed WTF looks......


5/4 time signature on that one. Not a great choice for a dance tune.

LeBron James and "the greatest NBA playoff game EVER"?

Carl Stokes?

East Ohio Gas Explosion?

Bill Veck?

The curse of Rocky Colavito?

Chief Wahoo?

"Major League"?

One of the more bizzare incidents in Major League Baseball when the
Indians sold Harry Chiti to the New York Mets for a player to be named
later then after playing just 15 games for the Mets, Chiti was named
by the Mets as the player to be named later?

I'm sorry - I couldn't resist...

Nah. George Szell when he conducted the Cleveland Orchestra. During his
tenure, the Cleveland was one of the finest orchestras in the world.

Add to that the Cleveland Clinic.
