The other day on the way back from seeing a Hot Rockabilly band called "Western Electric" I bumped into a couple of folk called Julie and Trevor. Ayway I walked into the local bar to get a late night beer and this chap [ Trevor ] said to me what kind of music do you like? I replied something like Eddie Cochran, Elvis, rockabilly etc. Well turns out his partner Julie runs Elvis.co.uk . Best of all the couple live 3-4 minutes from my house...

Now even better....

After chatting for a while Julie tells me she co wrote the Eddie Cochran Bio "Don't forget me" . Now this blew me away cos I am a huge Eddie fan [ I even own a Gretsch 6120 similar to Eddies ].. Turns out Julie stayed with Sharon Sheeley Eddies Girlfriend when he sadly passed away.. I bet nodody else in my town would have a clue who Sharon was yet here I was chatting to someone who had stayed with her.. [ Sharon CO wrote C'Mon everybody and also wrote Poor little fool for Rick Nelson ]..

Well we all ended up chatting and having a meal at a local restaurant and I have to say .. what a great couple..and I can't wait till the next time I run into them...

Anyway got a dash for now..

Byeeeeeee
