From a previous post you read how important I think instrumentals are. It's a shame there is not a lot of instrumentals today.

The instrumnentals were "it" for me. Especially Johnny and The Hurricanes, Booker T and The MG's,Bill Black's Combo,Duane Eddy, Willie Mitchell and The Ventures. It seemed that most of the stations I listened to on that little white Philco tube set, WHB, KUDL (my locals) and KAAY would use this music as "bumper" music before breaks for the news etc. I still wake up in the morning hearing (in my head) Ace Cannon doing TUFF or Sleepwalk by Santo and Johnny. I'm still partial to instrumentals, although the production levels and styles have changed, stuff by The Hellecasters, Ray Flacke and Joe Satriani are interesting to listen to, but nothing compares to 40 Miles of Bad Road by Duane Eddy!!!
