    I can't belive that I never even heard of the Collins until 2023. The kid on the guitar just smashes all of the 1950's rock n roll guitarists and should have been a headliner.

      It's Western Swing. They had lots of hopusehold names playing it. Not Rock.
      Lots of people say it's not. BUT, before Rock n Roll, Western Swing was the quickest thing you could dance to.
      Bill Haley and the Comets played Western Swing and were adapted in by the Memphis Rock n Rollers.

I then had to search for one if their albums. What a dynamo. Both of them so talented and should've been more well known.

    Larry was 14 here and already a veteran performer. He was a guitar protégé of the King of the Strings, Joe Maphis, who also performed on this show. Larry's guitar is a Mosrite double neck, the second one ever built. Joe Maphis played the first one. If his high energy hurt the act, Tex Ritter would have had him dial it back a bit. This was in 58, and they were competing with early rock and roll acts. They were a very popular act then.
