Link and Duane

nostalgic look at the early guitar stars

Link and Duane

long ago in a land of my youth

when I noticed music made my mind drift

I had no idea at the time I was very short in tooth

I only knew that it made me feel it was a special gift

as my teens arrived I was in the groove

suddenly I began hearing the electric strings

no one before made my ear and my feet move

guitars sat in the back and were for rhythm and things

new faces arrived and out in the front

playing amplified sounds not a sound I knew

only a few years older was this a trick or a stunt

tremelo and vibrato and echo some inventions new

combed wavy hair never ever out of place

handsome smiles twinkled eyes driving the girls

I wanted to have that kind of look on my baby face

make some money buy the ladies diamonds and pearls

the lads of early rock guitar Link and Duane

not even close to the sounds of the boys of today

but they were the beginning of music in the fast lane

wonder what they are doing now Duane Eddy and Link Wray
