  1. Cherry Wainer (1935 – 2014) was a South African-born musician, a soloist on the Hammond organ.
    Married to drummer Don Storer, she appeared regularly as a duo during the 1960s, such as a German television series, Beat! Beat! Beat (1967).

    After moving to Las Vegas in 1968 and working in cabarets, she retired from music and worked in a gift shop.

  3. Duane Eddy died earlier this week. I first heard him on The Art of Noise's track Peter Gunn.

    Here's the music video (and a bonus is Rick Mayall!)

  5. #music #duaneeddy #twang #guitar #petergunn #rebelrouser #classic #icon #musician It’s so sad we’ve lost Duane Eddy. His sound was an iconic without a doubt. I remember the DJ John Peel saying Duane’s version of “The Peter Gunn Theme” was the coolest song ever written, and I’d second that without any hesitation…

  6. Johnny Staccato (1959) a stylish gritty jazz-fuelled film noir-inflected PI TV series with John Cassavetes as a piano player/private eye. Similar to Peter Gunn but better - more neurotic, edgy and noirish.
