YES WE ALL LOVE ELVIS

A collector of music
Over twelve thousand albums.
Elvis, Beatles, great seventies music
 Elvis included
the fifties. Do wop and even before Do Wop.
 One of my favorites inspiration
But the inspiration for many guitar groups especially
Eric Clapton, the Beach Boys, a group now in the Hall of Fame,
The Ventures, Don Wilson the lead guitar player
and founder is turning 80 this week. "Hawaii 5-o"!",
"Walk don't run", Surf in music,
been to Hawaii you can't miss hearing
From the surf walkway Venture songs.

In my youth I loved the Wailers,
 Kingsman, "Louie Louie Louie lui--!
 Local group the Sonics. Mary lee Rush,
 "Angel in the Morning"
 Afternoon pleasure
going to the "Spanish Castle on highway 99"
 So a year or two ago I went to
a concert. The Ventures were selling autographed guitars
 for Two hundred dollars a Hall of Fame classic guitar autographed.
 My Granddaughters Christmas present.
To hang on her wall, Ok next to Go Go girls guitar
 I talked with the son of Don Wilson, Tim Wilson.
 What a nice guy! Shared talk of album collections
Been some time since our conversation So what
a surprise to get and invite to a special birthday party
 To receive a personal invite for a legend
I am sky high. To know that there is going
to be a special jam session with all
the old groups, mind boggling again sharing a session
 and Dandy well be there with some record memories to sign
