Hot rod hullabaloo

If you got the email and didn't go too bad for you! What a great time even for a Sunday.

Lee Rocker is a long time bass player that we all first heard about when the Stray Cats hit the scene. That's not where it started though, if you check this link you will see Carl Perkins using Lee up front for one of his shows back in the day, and also in his back up band were heavy hitters like Dave Edmunds, George Harrison and some dude name Ringo. (They tell me him and that Geo guy are pretty famous.) What I find funny is while Carl Perkins uses Lee Rocker for his "Big Show" bassist, he has his son in the back ground playing an electric standard Precision Bass....why bother?? Maybe it was a make work project for the lad, but then with the hair cut he was sporting for the day I guess he would have needed all the help he could get.

Look for Carl Perkins & Friends, pay no attention to the suspicious looking hair on Carl....that's just natural for a guy who is somewhere between 70 and death...

O.K. I am being smart....sorry

So Lee rocker has been impressing people for some time now, and it turns out they are a great bunch of guys full of wisdom and advice.

Here is a shot of Lee giving Clem some tips on the business. He said "Clem you are going to go far....you can start tonight by heading down the street to the bus depot......." Actually they both have something in common besides chiseled good looks, they both play King Basses.
