Ray Campi !



Hello y'all, sorry for the lack of posts, but it's a busy week here in South of Hell.
No wait, it's been a busy month too. errr and a busy year. Whatever.
Rockabilly madman Campi was born in New York in 1934 and moved with his family to Austin, TX, at age ten. Campi made his first recordings in 1951, but it wasn't until 1956, when he cut his first single for the small TNT label, that any of them were released. He went on to record for Domino and Dot, and moved to Los Angeles in 1959, where he signed with Colpix. Our good ol’ Ray continued to record into the new millennium, releasing occasional albums on his own label.
Go Ray Go !

Ray Campi:
* You Can't Catch Me *
* My Screamin' Screamin' Mimi *
* The Crossing *

This version of "You Can't Catch Me" is different from both the Blues Project and Chuck Berry versions I'd heard--it's minimalist somehow, neatly compact, but good.

I've been waiting for you and Yves all night long at the PMU, and you didn't came... I'll return tomorrow morning at 6 with Francis, to drink the "morning-pastis", hope you'll be there.

One of these days, my friend, we'll succeed in writing "real" comments on each other blog... but that day is not for today !

Cool site. You would be remiss Reverand if you didn't mention the similarity of the lyric in You Can't Catch Me to the Beatles Come Together.

"Here comes a flattop.
He was groovin' up quickly"
You Cant Catch Me

"Here come old flat top
He come groovin' up slowly"
Beatles Come Together

I did some research after hearing the song on your website. It was no coincidence.

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/
