It’s about damn time!

One of the great tragedies in the history of music in the 20th Century is how credit for a revolution can be soaked up by the front man. Any of you Elvis fans out there who don’t know who Scotty Moore is; shame on you!

(If you listen closely you can hear the two note into to “Jail House Rock” as Elmer climbs down from his soapbox.)

I told my husband about this. His response: “It’s about freaking time! Scotty should have been in there before Elvis!”
