Chuck Murphy - Who Drank My Beer (While I Was In The Rear)


I hate when this happens... Not much has changed since 1952.

Here is what Billboard had to say about it Jul 19, 1952: Pleasant ditty is given good pace by a spirited western featuring a honky tonk piano. Murphy half-talks half-sings the lyrics with proper dolefulness while the boys in teh band add a gang vocal in spots. Should do okay in tavern jukes.

The Bell Tones - Hangover Blues - I've Got A New Baby Doll



Pretty tame stuff considering the subject matter. I picked this up in a box of typical 50's 45's and bought it without knowing anything about it because of the the subject matter but it fails to really deliver. That doesn't mean it doesn't have it merits. I'd say these guys were goody goody two shoes sorta like a pat boone or crew cuts or some other mild pop/rockers of the day. It must be rare because it seriously can find NOTHING about it. But who cares i guess.....???

He also acted on occasion in films including Wilson and Duel in the Sun; and was later a regular on the 1950s Los Angeles country music television series Town Hall Party.

The Sandells - 6-Pak



Hey peeps, happy mid-week. Here is a little something to help you over the hump.

The Sandals, also known as The Sandells, were an early, influential surf rock band formed in 1964. They are most famous for scoring the surfing documentary The Endless Summer.

The Sandals began in 1962, when Danny Brawner, a drummer, joined a high-school group called The Twangs, headed up by the brothers Gaston and Walter Georis. The Twangs were a group heavily influenced by The Ventures. At this point, the core of The Sandals was formed: Brawner on drums, Gaston on keyboards, Walter on rhythm guitar, John Blakeley on lead guitar with his brother, David, on bass. David was replaced by John Gibson early on. The band changed their name to The Shadows, and eventually settled on The Sandells, a portmanteu of "Sand" and "ells", a popular ending for groups at the time. They released their first album, "Scrambler!", in early 1964. They partnered with World Pacific Records for the release, which allowed them to come in contact with Bruce Brown, who was then just beginning editing work on his next documentary project, The Endless Summer..

The Endless Summeris one of the first and most influential films of the surf movie genre, creating and defining an entire category of cinema which has endured and evolved in the decades since its release.

This cut was featured on the soundtrack to The Endless Summer, here is my original 45 copy.

Hang 10 and drink 6!!!
