Here's something for you other old rock-n-roll fans.

I don't know how many are familiar with the name Jason D. Williams,

but he's the closest thing to Jerry Lee Lewis you'll ever find.

Apparently there's no relationship between the two.

Here's a link to a You Tube clip (there are several more on there).

Jason is currently traveling around the country doing shows. A schedule

is posted on his website. http://www.rockinjasondwilliams.com/

Been trying to catch one of his appearances for several years, but none

were convenient. He will be in two places in Kansas City this summer,

maybe can get to one now.

GreattttttttttBalllllllllllllllls ahhhhh Fireeeeeeeeee, hope you get there, and have a good time Bob, nothing like good old Rock and Roll.

Driving home last night was listening to Retro Country, the song "Harper Valley PTA", was on, when I got home, I played the video on You Tube, now Jeannie C Riley was a Purdy Little Thing, not sure if she is alive or not, she's probably around my Mom's age.........Fred

And, in case anyone likes Zydeco music.......there was a special group trip on our

cruise put on by nationally known Zydeco player Chubby Carrier. He told me he

sponsors the trip annully about this time of year. He played for private group dances

at the rear section of the "Lido" deck. Visited with him a bit - seems like a nice guy.

He travels all over the country - from his home in Louisiana.

Hey Bob,

How about Boppin Steve, from Sweden?...

He played our Rhythm Riot festival in November.

He sounds just like The Killer himself. It's uncanny!

[BobT-47P15]

Robin......Boppin Steve is good!!

So, now we've got two good Jerry Lee players in the world.

And also on this cruise was the midget fellow from here who does

Elvis material, Duke Mason. They had a travel group for whom they

played two private shows, then one public show on the pool deck

Thursday afternoon. In my opinion, they were the best band on

the ship.

Here's Duke performing in Memphis in 2007 with the Jordanaires.
