Must have been only a few months before we met you and Steve.<br /><br />That night, we met Link Wray outside the Venue (when I say met, I mean assaulted). We stayed there after the show and drank until they pulled the shutters down on the bar. Wandering out onto the almost deserted Victoria streets, one lone figure stood out in near mythical silhouette only twenty feet away from us. He was carrying a guitar case and wearing a full length leather coat, Elvis shades and a fabulous quiff. No road crew, no limo, no big cigars… just the man himself, looking for a cab.<br /><br />Kevin wrapped his arms around Link and picked him off the ground while I translated ‘We love you’ from Glaswegian into English for the benefit of our part Shawnee Indian hero from America… R.I.P Link Wray.<br /><br />Rumble is the only instrumental ever to be banned by radio.Portrait of a Love Letterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04168706667643268381noreply@blogger.com
