    A guitarist you've never heard of, but was influential, has died

    Larry Collins' rockabilly novelty act performances on TV's "Town Hall Party" as a boy in the 1950s, predating Elvis and Buddy Holly, influenced rock 'n' roll, surf rock and even punk rock. He went on to co-write a major hit from the early 1970s.

    Looked him up as I had not heard of him. That’s quite the guitar he had, gives Jimmy Page a run for his money!

    Here's an article about him that was posted to The Oldies Music Board that may be of interest.
