Teenbeat #2. "Who's Sam Cooke?"

The Mummies are coming to London very soon! And we went to see Guitar Wolf once again last week. This is the tracklist for my second podcast in Mixcloud: 

  • 1Bluejean Bop by Gene Vincent & His Blue Caps
  • 2Jet Generation by Guitar Wolf
  • 3Summertime Blues by Guitar Wolf
  • 4The Ballad of Iron Eyes Cody by The Mummies
  • 5Jezabel by The Mummies
  • 6Shake by Sam Cooke
  • 7Shake by Eddie and The Hot Rods
  • 8That's What You're Doing To Me by Nolan Strong & The Diablos
  • 9Guitar Child by Glen Campbell

I would like to add something about the last track, Guitar Child by Glen Campbell. And the thing is I haven't found any evidence about if Glen Campbell did record this song. This is the first track in a Sharon Sheeley compilation, but I have only found this song played and recorded by Duane Eddy. If anyone knows, leave a comment please!

Omer et le Canard.


An example of a bizarre old school postcard found in one of my trips to Belgium.

This is part of a collection called "Les Personnages de Jacques Courtois". And who is Jacques Courtois? Probably the most famous French ventriloquist thanks to his regular participation in the television in the 60s.

"Une fièvre de cheval… pour un Canard, c’est pas sérieux!"
