This
book represents the period from Post-War WWII to the advent of 'Flower Power'
The days of Rock Music now seem like another era. It was like living another
century. Drive-in Movies and Teen Dances. The singers, and musicians, those
that 'made it' and others that tried. It would require several volumes to
describe the entire story of Popular Music, Rock n' Roll and Rockabilly in
one book. This is an attempt to cover the basics. The following pages are a
condensed view of the world of Rockabilly and Rock. Included are selected
biographies and condensed 'discographies. It is hoped the reader, collector
and musician/s will enjoy this overview of a great era in an era when
'software 'was something comfortable you sat upon.
