What a great label. One of my all time favorite Salvation Army finds was a Johnny Cash, Sun Record label, t-shirt. A black shirt with the yellow Sun Label for "I Walk the Line."
Jerry Lee always makes my feet move. I saw him right here in Elmira on August 6th, 1999. I remember Jerry Lee had really black eyes. Kinda like Keith Richards. And he was real pale. But he rocked that piano, and stood up and knocked over the piano bench just like in the old black and white videos.
I went with my father in-law to that show. That's what I like about music. You can enjoy it with all kinds of people; old/young, related/strangers, straight/crooked, or diner lover/snob.
Love to find Jerry Lee on a juke box, although just finding a juke box is a challenge these days. Some digital ones around, but other than the one in my basement, I'm not sure there is one with records within hundred miles of here. I think my favourite Jerry Lee song is "Breathless." I love X's version of that song as well ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NOdMYZa3dA4 ) , but my favorite Jerry Lee cover is the Blasters doin' "High School Confidential" on their live EP. The Killer is still goin'. I think he had some sort of duet record out within the last five years, and I hear he was shaking up in Rochester NY just last year.
