Rama Lama Ding Dong !



Back on the tracks.
Pain pain pain in my heart, thanks thanks thanks for your comments, ouch ouch ouch for that poor guy who met my fronthead Saturday night (he looked for it)
Guys, I owe you one.
The name of the group we’re about to hear was originally The Essos, after gas station Esso, but was changed to match the then-new Ford automobile, the Edsel.
The group consisted of lead vocalist George Jones Jr., James Reynolds, Marshall Sewell, Harry Greene, and Larry Greene.Today, the group is known almost exclusively for their song, "Rama Lama Ding Dong". The song was recorded in 1957 and released, under the errant title "Lama Rama Ding Dong", in 1958.
The song did not become popular until 1961, after a disc jockey in New York City began to play it as a segue from The Marcels doo-wop version of "Blue Moon."
Ironically, the group had broken up by the time the song became a hit in 1961.

THEE BLOODY END !!!

ALL GOOD THINGS COME TO AN END. Yes my dear friends/readers, I've decided to end this very blog ! No particular reason to be frank, I've just decided to put this site to bed. So alas, another (fantastic/brilliant/extraordinary, you choose) blog goes away. Well, you all know I'm a (fantastic/brilliant/extraordinary/bad, you choose) musician and that it takes a LOT of my time, that maybe explains the sporadic nature of posting here, so here we go... its' a FAREWELL ! Well, don't be sad my friends, remember what the great Criswell said: ' We are all interested in the future, for that is where you and I are going to spend the rest of our lives. And remember my friend, future events such as these will affect you in the future.' ! So, I can't really express myself on HOW MUCH this lil' internet page was important to me, and how much it was fun to make/search/create ! You can't imagine how crazy it was to make those halloween/western/...
