I'm here with Sleepy LaBeef.
That was great.
Thank you very much for doing that.
That sounded fantastic.
It's a lot of fun.
You seem to be having a great time.
Great audience.
Great band. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ You've been doing this for a long time.
You got your start in the 50s.
You were one of the opening acts for Elvis.
Is that true?
With a few more people.
Who else were you with?
I think maybe there's Jones, Tommy Sands.
_ _ Two or three songs.
Ten minutes each to fill up an hour.
Then Elvis, Scotty and Bill would come on.
_ Those shows back then.
This is the very early days of rock and roll.
Were you aware that this is something that's going to have ramifications?
Here it is 40 years later.
It's still going.
Were you aware of that?
I think we were.
Some people said it was a fad.
It would pass.
It did pass all over the world.
People still love it.
I know that very early on.
A lot of times you were playing rock and roll
for crowds that probably wanted to hear
or expected to hear country music.
Did this go over well?
I think in the middle 50s they were ready
for everything to come together.
I think most of your good music
was inspired by the southern
foot stomping,
hand clapping gospel.
The blues and the hillbilly boogie.
All this came together.
They called it rock and roll.
Then they called it rockabilly, country rock.
By whatever name you call it,
I think it's good stuff.
The real [C] stuff.
Now, when [Bb] _ _
you_
_ _ _ You heard this stuff
through the radio then.
How did you get the influence?
How did this thing take hold with you?
I was born in South Arkansas.
A little French [N] community.
Originally called Sumatcovert.
_ But the people around South Arkansas
called it Smockover.
Smockover, Arkansas.
The home of Clyde Scott.
_ So I would listen to XCRF
in Del Rio, Texas.
That was the border station
just over into Mexico.
They'd aim that beam right across the USA.
So we'd listen to
Whoop [Bb] Man Jack
and Walter Bales doing the gospel songs.
Whoop Man Jack doing everything else.
And then [F] WLAC,
listen to Hoss Man,
John R.
out of Nashville, Tennessee,
[D] and WSM Grand Ole Opry.
So we had a cross-section of appreciation.
Just a melting pot.
You heard the whole thing
and it has never stopped.
That's right.
We really appreciate you coming here
and playing your music for us.
It was a real treat for us.
Thank you.
