R.I.P. Larry Collins

Rockabilly great and shit-hot teen guitarist with his sister Lorrie in the Collins Kids. He also wrote "Delta Dawn" amongst other well-known ditties.

I'd heard their records but had never bothered watching their videos before. Larry was a cheerful little wildman.

Oh yeah now you’re speaking my language. I’ve pored over these Collins kids videos many times. They were both wise beyond their years…Larry on that double neck guitar in the 50s!!

THIS is positively slinky.
