And I was doing this hop, at this record hop
in Fredericksburg, Virginia, 1957.
And like about 5,000 kids out there, you know,
cause I mean, rock and roll at that time was huge.
Everywhere you went, I mean, the kids were just
like a storm, you know.
And I'm just up there playing, you know, the old hits,
you know, you know,
[Am]
Chuck Berry, you [E] know,
you can play it.
[A]
[E] Just stuff, you know, [F#] nothing really, you know.
And the Diamonds had came,
they were like number one, had number one hit.
They came to this year, Milk Grant show, you know.
And so I was doing the hop for this Milk Grant,
the disc jockey, TV disc jockey.
And so he brought the Diamonds out to the hop.
And I was supposed to get off the stage
and they would put a record on,
they would pan them on to the kids, you know,
that's the way they did back in those days.
So instead of Milk doing that,
he just jump on the stage,
Link, play me a stroll.
I said, I don't know a stroll.
Doug said, I know the beat behind one of them.
And you think, you know, I said, okay.
And I went like this, and then my guard man,
watching me, you know, he said, bam, I [D] went.
[E] You know, and my brother Ray,
he grabs the microphone, right?
Cause the only mic they had back in those days
was just for the singers.
They didn't mic the amps or anything.
So he just took [D] the mic,
stick it down here like this, right?
So I just took my amplifier and turned it wide open.
And I had an old premier amplifier, right?
So I just turned the tremolo on.
And I was playing.
[E] You couldn't even hear Shorty.
And Doug was playing so loud
because he was playing with the butt end of the stick.
[D] So all I could really hear was just me and Doug.
You know, I was doing.
[E] Yeah, right.
Yeah, and the kids, they just went ape, you know,
screaming over me.
And Doug got so, he got so, you know,
because we'd been there all night long
and the kids didn't pay a bit of attention to us.
All night long.
And so when I started doing this song,
they started screaming over me, you know,
because now there's something happening, right?
So Doug, he got so carried away.
He jumped up off the drums.
I said, Doug, let's finish the song anyhow.
So he gets back on the drums.
And we had to play about four times for the kids.
They kept hollering and screaming, you know,
banging on the stage, you know.
Play that weird song, play that weird song.
