The only thing I have problems with sometimes is finding where something goes.

I went to one of the Rock and Roll French Websites linked here, they talked about Red Prysock. I have never heard of him.



This is real good.

Too, look at these Korean girls, singing nostalgic songs:

  Tom ! Where you come from ?

Nouvelle Mexique, New Mexico.

Thank you Birdy, You do so much work here. Thank you for your website.

I am not in New Mexico right now.

À l'heure actuelle, je ne suis pas au Nouveau-Mexique, Roswell, mais c'est ma vraie maison. J'espère revenir peut-être.

Oui, la soucoupe volante (flying saucer, UFO, OMNI en Spanish I think) n'était pas célèbre, quand j'ai grandi. Il est maintenant. Selon eux, qu'il s'est écrasé en 1948 ou 1949. Je ne sais pas si c'est vrai.. En fait, je suis né à Midland au Texas. Maintenant, le travail m'a emmené à Minnesota, il fait froid. Nous allons voir. Mais j'ai "rando", Je faire du vélo beaucoup. Je devrai voir. Roswell n'est pas loin de Lubbock, Buddy Holly enregistrée à Clovis au Nouveau Mexique. Roy Orbison de clin d'oeil au Texas, n'est pas vrai bien, au moins quand il était adolescent.

Nous allons voir ce que je fais. Nouveau-Mexique a quelques belles montagnes.

J'ai pris des Français à l'école, je lis beaucoup, j'ai don ' t il parle bien. J'ai admiré Français certains pendant une longue période.

Je vais mieux maintenant, je vais être plus tard.

You welcome !!! 

Voici 3 instrus des années 1950.

Ah, aussi, où je vis, nous obtenons Radio Français québécois. Aussi, dans le passé, j'ai vécu près d'El Paso, au Texas (Bobby Fuller 4, "I a combattu le law" - "I fought the Law" version de band Clash trop ) était de il. Ainsi, le Français est un petit peu comme espagnols, simples phrases Français ne sont pas difficiles à lire. Peut-être que je pourrais revenir à Nouvelle Mexique.

Rockabilly: Les Rockin' Rebels, Wild Weekend,

Vous êtes tous être très agréable. Je suis dans un forum d'Elvis, mais j'ai jamais vraiment participer. Ce forum a beaucoup de bonnes chansons.

Tip of the Hat to all.

I am impressed with Tupelo Mississippi Flash, music-knowledge and obviously, speaks English well, fluent!

Thank You!!

Elvis' fans CAN be wrong ... Sometimes

You say that because...you're an Elvis fan ?

Well thank you pally, very nice of you to say that ! I've been in Dallas, but just the airport, on my way to Memphis, Tennessee. Still had the time to speak about Western Swing, Bob Wills and Spade Cooley with a "security director" though (and to buy a metallic plate "Don't mess around with Texas" for my fridge ! )

Who told you i was an Elvis fan ?

Weird that the airport on my way to Memphis was Chicago, so i talked about more Blues than Western Swing and it was right

I didn't see no signboard "Don't mess with Illinois" (Anyway i had no fridge at that time )

Don't mess around with me (Boogie) boy ! I was in Clarksdale, so don't give me no bullshit about "Talking 'bout blues" !

Keep cool Tupelo Mississipi Flash ...

Cool moi ? Toujours...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sam_Cooke Sam Cooke born in Clarksdale but the family migrated to Chicago.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clarksdale,_Mississippi

It's a small town to have had such an effect on music. No, I haven't been there. I'm sure it would be a nice place to go.

It's very small, but it's got a nice Museum of the Blues. You can see Muddy Waters Birthplace there, and at least three crossroads where Robert Johnson is supposed to have sold is soul to the Devil !

I don't think so At least you don't always seem so cool as you pretend

Slow down "It's only Rock n Roll" ... (Oui enfin pas le type au chapeau qui fume, mais bon )

Should be a cool place to go ... Never been there ... Is it far from Tupelo ?

113 miles Driving Distance. 2 hours 9 mins Estimated Driving Time.

It looks like Clarksdale would not be that far from Memphis which has a real music history as well.

Clarksdale Mississippi or Coahoma County.

Sam Cooke born there,

John Lee Hooker from that county, Coahoma County, Mississippi,

Ike Turner who sang with Tina Turner.

And others.

Tennessee Williams, a famous play writer. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tennessee_Williams He wrote "Streetcar named desire" (Marlon Brando) and "Cat on a hot tin roof". I've heard of these, haven't really watched or read them.

Yep, just like Tupelo, no wonder the Blues and Elvis eventually landed in that big city !

(Little) Junior Parker was from Clarksdale to !

This is interesting, the article says this was one of Elvis' airplanes and it was auctioned off a few years ago in Las Vegas, NV.

Please see the pictures at the first link, the pictures would not post. FANCY plane...

It had been in storage in Roswell.

Also, I know this is NOT the Elvis area but I read a book from the library, it had a list of all of Elvis's  concerts, tours, dates and Elvis did go to Roswell, New Mexico on tour way back, around 1955, 1956. The book is in the library.

Maybe on the web there is a list of all of Elvis's concert dates.

Thanks, good songs.

You have a book about Elvis concerts in Texas :



Elvis in Texas: The Undiscovered King 1954-1958 documents where and when Elvis Presley first arrived in Texas in the Fifties.

Actually, you even have TWO books about Elvis and his Texas concerts and tours :





Rockin' Across Texas by Stanley Oberst is a very good book about Elvis' concert tours in Texas in the 1950's and 1970's.

Thanks, good songs.

Actually, Elvis took the rythm of the A side, and the lyrics of the B side, coined them together and made his own version of Mystery Train :

Thank You Tupelo:

Online has some information as well:

How interesting that JP Richardson a/k/a (also known as ) the "Big Bopper" does not have his own thread.


The Big Bopper originally wrote this famous song, I did not know this.

It was one of George Jones most famous songs.

For the record, TUCUMCARI is in my home state of New Mexico, Nouvelle Mexique, this is not Rockabilly of course. Also, Bob Wills lived some in Roy, New Mexico, Buddy Holly recorded their some, Roy Orbison lived near there too.

TUCUMCARI, a tiny little town... maybe on Old Route 66....


Song starts in about 2 minutes in....

I was very very frustrated in New Mexico, bad experiences.... where I am, well, I'm unsure.

New Mexico, is where Billy the Kid, Santa Fe, Carlsbad Caverns are...

And Roswell, where they say the UFO Flying Saucer crashed, I don't know.

Anyway, you all take care! Ya'll I mean.....

Too bad, at times, we have to Ramble...



Good song here, kind of rockabilly, Guitar town by Steve Earle, of course, he's popular....

Just a little about me, spending time in Minnesota, there was a man from Tours France. He was a very good football/soccer player, I use to read Onze Football, Le Foot magazine and still do when I can get it. I took art in school, it was okay. I read about the Surrealists, Dada, a whole lot of those artists when younger.

How interesting, why is this?? Tucumcari in French....
