Wenn man auf Links aus dem Netz verweist hat das einen immensen Nachteil. Man weiß nämlich nicht, wie lange man sie zur Verfügung hat. Da sich bei dem Link, auf den ich in meinem Beitrag vom 3. Juli 2009 verwiesen habe nichts mehr rührt habe ich mich entschlossen, bei Ronnie Dawson die "Grundausstattung" link-unabhängig zu installieren.
Kurz-Bio:
Der Rockabilly-Sänger, Gitarrist und Schlagzeuger Ronnie Dawson wurde am 11. August 1939 in Dallas, Texas, als Ronald Monroe Dawson geboren und verstarb am 30. September 2003 ebenda.

*) diese Single wurde nur angeführt, da Ronnie Dawson bei den vier
....Aufnahmen Schlagzeug gespielt haben soll, wie unter anderem auch
....bei "Hey Baby" von Bruce Channel und bei "Hey Paula".

Die folgende Single scheint fallweise in manchen Discos irrtümlich auf. Dieser "Blonde Bomber" ist (war?) aber Walter Rhodes:
HULL
11 60....45-H-737....THE BLONDE BOMBER..Strollie Bun (H 2068)/I Am To Blame (H 2069) (1964 neuerlich auf 763)

Heino, ich gehe ganz stark davon aus. Immerhin erzählte Ronnie in einem
Interview mit Richie Unterberger etwas über Johnny Hicks und Big D Jamboree:

"I read once that Elvis Presley did a show with you at the Big D Jamboree in Dallas and told Johnny Hicks, the emcee, that he didn't want to go on too close to your slot.

We actually played with him at the Big Jamboree, where I was playing. They came through there, he and Scotty [Moore] and Bill [Black] I think, the first time. I don't think I was there. I was still doing the show, but I was away from there the next time he came through. But yeah, I remember seeing him there.

Well, I tell you what. John Hicks, he's a good man. But I don't think Elvis ever really was worried about anybody. That happened a few times, I kind of got that reputation, because I really looked young for my age, and it was a fiery kind of a show. It was a high-energy type of thing. Basically, the Big D Jamboree was a country show. It was a Grand Ole Opry format, or Louisiana Hayride type of format. That's where I really got started, in a talent show there. And I ended signing on with them. The fellow that started at the Big Jamboree was a guy named Ed McLemore. He ended up being my manager. He was also Gene Vincent's and Dale Hawkins's, and he had a stable of artists. So I was a part of that, so that's kind of how that came about." (Unterberger)

Hallo Dieter,

das ist ein Indiz - danke sehr.
