♫ a real rock ♪ cool country promotion ♪ ♫ For over the past ten years has help bring the Boppin' Rock and Roll Sound of Great Rockabilly bands and their music into the Lehigh Valley into many venues. There have been differnt reasons in times past as to why there were venue changes, but it seems this time the real reason is the worst recession since 1959 and the possibllity the worst depression since 1929. As I recall Rockabilly along with Rock and Roll was still going strong in 1959, but most historians point to the fatal plane crash on Feberauy 3, 1959 as the piviotal point of the decline in popularity of Rockabilly music. Rockabilly may have faded from time to time but has never disappaered since it boppin' beginings in the late 1940's right thru to today.

Rockabillies, Here is one we missed...

Dateline: 20091018

Bill Turner Reports: Frannie's Rockin' 88;

Hey Gang,

Once again Frannie Beecher packed the house at the Bridgeport Rib House, making a club appearance in celebration of his 88th birthday. Frannie was backed by the "Heart & Soul" band, which is a really fine and versatile 5 piece combo, led by Kevin Burk -- who is an outstanding host and MC for the show. Kevin also plays keyboards in the group and has a really good singing voice. The other pieces are tenor sax; bass; drums and guitar--in addition to Frannie.

Frannie played the second set for 1 hour, and during the set, was presented with a birthday cake from the club...and a special commemorative plaque by Noel Wollman (from the NJ cable TV show "Straight Ahead Guitar") saluting his accomplishments as a musical innovator, originator, and all around gentleman.

Earlier in the afternoon, Noel Wollman taped a 30 minute interview with Frannie at Kevin Burk's house, asking him questions about the various phases of his life and career--which included some impromptu guitar playing by Frannie...unplugged. All in all it was a fine afternoon and evening, and it was great to see the draw that Frannie still has in that area of Pennsylvania.

The crowd was an interesting mix of people; old friends from the neighborhood, guitar enthusiasts, even a couple of heavy metal players from the area, and several 'retro' rockabilly types...also from the surrounding area. In a way, it reminded me of Rudy-when he used to appear at the Night Cap in Boothwyn PA in the 70s, though during that time, the music played was almost all swing, jazz and Sinatra type pop music.

In this particular setting, the Heart & Soul band did a good upbeat variety of classic rock, and oldies--which was a tailor-made mix for the crowd.

One thing's for certain--there was no better music to be heard anywhere else that night!

This is your "Roving Rockabilly Reporter" Bill Turner signing off!

Roc's NOTE; Frannie Beecher was part of the Benny Goodman Swing Orch. for three years in the late 1940's before joining Bill Haley And The Sadlemen and Frannie is the voice you hear in the begining of Bill Haley and the Comets original recording of "See You Later Allagator". Also note Bill Turner toured as a Comet with Bill Haley in the mid 70's.

To all concerned Rockabillies;

Please read and then Tell your 100 Best Friends to sign the following petition and put the word out for another Rockin' 50s Fests in Green Bay.

There is word that there will no longer be any more Rockin' 50s Fests in Green Bay in either 2009 or in the future. Please sign the following petition in the hopes that they change their mind. Thanks for your support. Also, get your friends to sign the petition too, if possible. Spread the word. The more signatures the better. Petition On Line for More Rockin' 50s Fests at Green Bay. The URL is http://www.PetitionOnline.com/rockin50/petition.html .

Or Write Cards or letters to this address:

Attention; Entertainment Director at
Oneida Bingo and Casino
2040 Airport Drive
Green Bay
Wisconsin
54313-5538

To: Oneida Bingo and Casino Entertainment Director,
In 2002, Oneida Casino hosted the first Rockin’ 50’s Fest, which included over one hundred acts, primarily rockabilly. Fans from all over the world attended the week long festival. Luckily, for the fans, the casino decided to have another festival in 2005. Again, fans from all over the world attended. In 2007, it happened again with a third installment. We, the fans, look forward to these festivals and feel that the Oneida Casino has the perfect venue and hosts one of the best festivals in the world. The festivals give fans an outlet to forget all the problems in the world. Many of us plan a year in advance to see these wonderful showcases of talent. Musicians and fans alike feel that the festival is a family reunion. Not only do you get to see your old friends but make new ones as well. The casino has given us the opportunity to see several musical acts at one show. There are not enough rockabilly related festivals here in the States. In order to keep the music alive and give a proper venue to the younger acts, more festivals need to be created and not limited. Festivals like the Rockin’ 50’s Fest help younger acts broaden their fan base. Also, the acts from the 1950’s are getting older, and we lose a couple every year. Soon there won’t be any left to participate in these festivals. It is important to teach our children and introduce new fans to the music before it is too late. We, the fans, are asking you to please reconsider the idea of not having another festival at the Oneida Casino. Rockabilly needs you. The musicians and fans need you. Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
(The Undersigned)

The Save the Rockin' 50's Fests Petition to Oneida Casino was created by and written by Sheree Homer (homersm2001@yahoo.com). This petition is hosted at www.PetitionOnline.com as a public service.

For those first time visitors, I should introduce myself, I am the original Roc in Roc' n Roll and promoting original goodtime music, primarily originators and not just duplicators! And if I were to summarize my reason for building this Rocsite, It would be so everyone has a source to find out what's happening the world of Rock-A-Billy and Real Rock 'n Roll !!!

Catch That Rockabilly Fever

Catch That Rockabilly Fever by Sheree Homer is a candid account of life on the road and in the studio with '50s legends and today's talent. These are personal stories told by the artists themselves. It's a soft cover biography that will be published in October 2009 by McFarland Publishers and retail for $39.95. It will have never before seen photos (strictly 1950's photos of the legends) and rare stories from the artists themselves.

Catch That Rockabilly Fever will be approximately 350 pages in length. It will be unlike any other rockabilly book on the market since it will include some of today's hottest young talent plus insightful stories from 1950's backing musicians and engineers for the first time, such as James Kirkland (Bob Luman, Ricky Nelson), Richie Frost (Ricky Nelson), Steve Handford (Bobby Lee Trammell), Tony Austin (Rock and Roll Trio), Stanley Walker (Ray Smith), Bobby Poe (Wanda Jackson), Vernon Sandusky (Big Al Downing) and Bob Sullivan (KWKH/Louisiana Hayride). Foreword by acclaimed writer Ken Burke.

These forty-six artists will have individual profiles and one glamorous photo per musician: Glen Glenn, Lew Williams, Art Adams, Elvis Presley, Ricky Nelson, Bob Luman, Ed Bruce, Dickey Lee, Jack Earls, Hayden Thompson, Maddox Brothers and Rose, Sonny Burgess, Carl Mann, Ray Smith, Johnny Powers, Larry Donn, Pat Cupp, Ronnie Hawkins, Bobby Lee Trammell, Huelyn Duvall, Gene Summers, Sonny West, Buddy Holly, The Collins Kids, Wanda Jackson, Charlie Gracie, Big Al Downing, Laura Lee Perkins, The Rock and Roll Trio, Narvel Felts, The Dave and Deke Combo, Kim Lenz, Go Cat Go, High Noon, Larry Cole, Cari Lee Merritt, Josie Kreuzer, Eddie Clendening, Suzy and Buddy Dughi, The Casey Sisters, Carl Sonny Leyland, Dawn Shipley, Sue Moreno, Ruby Ann, and Tex Rubinowitz.

Here’s hoping everyone catches that rockabilly fever. Reserve your copy today. This is a must have for any rockabilly/rock and roll fan. Here is the direct link to McFarland’s website: Catch That Rockabilly Fever
