I dig it but so under the radar nobody knows this guy.

A pretty fascinating, tragic tale

We can't dance rockabilly jive, so it's a bit of an adapted boogie woogie/swing dance. The band is: Jumpin' Jiri and the Blue Boys!

I've grown up my entire life listening to my dad play guitar: at home, at local festivals, and at gigs across the central states. This is one of his first projects, recorded at Foxtrot Studio in Shreveport, LA. It has been incredibly inspiring watching him grow as a person and as a musician, and I wanted to share this album with those of you who may be searching for more rockabilly/surfer/blues music.

This album features Wayne (Grenade) Anderson and many his friends, providing original songs alongside covers of some classics. Check it out if you're interested, and many thanks.

Attached is a link to one of my favorites.

Eddie Bond said he was from there:

So did Sonny Fisher:

Though Lee Dorn says "Deep Down, Tennessee" to my ear, but maybe that's just a directional location to Ding Dong:

But despite all of the Daddies from Ding Dong, TN, the original Ding Dong Daddy was actually from Dumas, Texas (here via Bob Wills and the Texas Playboys):

Found this exhibit card at a flea market. It’s from the mid 50s. Somebody could’ve got this from a one cent vending machine in an arcade or bowling alley back then. I think Marilyn Monroe is in the same set too.

Ronnie Cook and the Gaylads first recorded it in 1962.

The Cramps' Spin: Altered the lyrics to make it monster-themed.
