  1. Musical Interlude: I had a rough time getting moving this morning, and dealing with everything at work....I was filled with dread over my annual review, although as it turns out I had nothing to worry about. But still, this music fits my pace today...

    "Dinosaur," performed by Link Wray & His Ray-Men.

    "The Only Instrumental Banned On American Radio

    Rumble is one of those songs that hit at the right place in the right time, and it influenced some of the most legendary rock musicians out there. It's is one of the best riffs ever written, and it was truly a pivotal moment in rock and roll history."

  6. From his self-titled first release, well before he and Bo Diddley invented a genre I've always called "Big Beat" but I probably made that up. #LinkWray #BoDiddley #fuckICE

  7. Next is legendary Shawnee rock and roll rebel Link Wray with the late 50s jam “Slinky” (tinyurl.com/r3c7zw7p). While not explicitly a surf rock musician a good deal of his music has beach-y vibes

  9. LINK WRAY AND HIS RAYMEN
    Jack The Ripper
    2005 U.S. MONO Reissue

    A miserable, dark, wet day outside, so it’s a good day to stay in a listen to music.

    Starting with this to go along with some apple pancakes for breakfast. An excellent sounding reissue from Sundazed of a killer, classic album.

    Let’s RUMBLE, baby!
