The biggest challenge for me was Get Rhythm. I don't know why.

Veteran performers are dying off, and new acts simply aren't emerging on the national scene.

The songwriting has never really stepped forward from the '50's.

It is hard to play Blue Suede Shoes. I know everyone has heard it 10 million times, and that makes it even harder to play it, but there's a very laid back tempo on that. I was surprised at how slow it really was.

I wanted to go back to Sun. Unfortunately, most of the gear is gone from Sun. The way I take it now, it's almost like a tourist destination. So, it would have been pretty difficult to have brought all the gear into Sun to make it like it was in the '50's.

Don't be afraid to take liberties with this music. Try and put some of yourself into it.

For every rockabilly festival staged here, there are 10 held overseas.
