"before Chet got there."? Chet was a studion musician and played on alot of early Elvis and other rock and roll records in the 50's. Even Carl would recognize Chet as a pioneer, he just didn't bother with the crazy showmanship that was associated with rockabilly groups like Elvis, Carl, Jerry Lee etc.

They have been. I saw them last year with ZZ Top. It was insanely good.

No need for the serious tone... :) I only know Carl, visually, from the tape my Dad had when I was a kid. I'm no authority on him. What was he afflicted with?

Carl Perkins was playing rockabilly long before Chet got there. Carl and his brother used to rock up old hillbilly music and play it for local crowds. Brian, The Beatles, Fogarty, Clapton and dozens of other big name artists credit Carl Perkins as one of their greatest inspriations.

Where do you think ROCKABILLY came from? Chet.
