    I can't belive that I never even heard of the Collins until 2023. The kid on the guitar just smashes all of the 1950's rock n roll guitarists and should have been a headliner.

    RIP Lorrie Collins (May 7, 1942 - August 4, 2018), aged 76
    And
    RIP Larry Collins (October 4, 1944 - January 5, 2024), aged 79
    You both will be remembered as legends.

      It's Western Swing. They had lots of hopusehold names playing it. Not Rock.
      Lots of people say it's not. BUT, before Rock n Roll, Western Swing was the quickest thing you could dance to.
      Bill Haley and the Comets played Western Swing and were adapted in by the Memphis Rock n Rollers.

    Larry was 14 here and already a veteran performer. He was a guitar protégé of the King of the Strings, Joe Maphis, who also performed on this show. Larry's guitar is a Mosrite double neck, the second one ever built. Joe Maphis played the first one. If his high energy hurt the act, Tex Ritter would have had him dial it back a bit. This was in 58, and they were competing with early rock and roll acts. They were a very popular act then.
