i'm of the opinion that factual errors are of no real signif in this type of essay but bill haley & his dudes were originally a country band, not jazzniks, surely?
anyway great as usual. a new threnody for r'n'r must be written every decade.
Thanks! Will correct as soon as windows 11 lets the edit page load.
The Comets sound like western swing to me which I always think of as a branch of jazz, but then Maybellene was based on a western swing song and it's called country, so I'll work out how to resolve that.
ps every time I write one of these essays I am powerfully tempted to include historical errors. What's the point of retelling the story on wiki or whatever when a lie would be more true to the facts.
