I have been into the rockabilly/rock n roll scene for as long as I can remember. I started as an Elvis fan, found the whole other world of music that followed and never looked back. I did the Teddy girl thing in the early 80's then moved into the "hepcat" scene and went to my first weekender in 84 on the Isle of Wight - wow that was scary!!
I do love loud stompin strollers I can honestly say I like stuff dating from the mid 40's up to current day, lets face it most sounds are based on rockin basic themes!
Not really into rocky "lalala" jivers and don't really jive much as I don't have any one to jive with, :o( -
it's got to the stage now where I wouldn't go out there anyway as I'd be scared to make a complete tit out myself haha!
I love strolling could do that all night long...but I would love to jive again...maybe one day?
Love and admire Gene Kelly's work, wish I could dance with him!
Other than rockin' I love hot rods and long to own a chopped matt black 51 Merc' - I have owned a few old motors and a few yanks over the years..even an Edsel came my way!
I don't like shiny shiny cars, I like my car to look like it's used, they are for driving after all. I wouldn't mind a pick up they are fun..
mum said life begins at 40 so I'm hoping.... :o)
...my real dream is to build and drive some cool hot rods..think the sound of a bubblin V8 is the coolest in the world - 49-51 low slung mercury in matt black for me..to start..then some 60's chicano low rider on air...once someone teaches me about hydraulics !haha...WHEN I realise my dream ya can all come for a ride with me in one of my rods.. I promise ..it'll be just like this..... " ....

I defy anyone, in a rod, on an open road, at night not to drive fast and cool to this.... (dancing in vid is pants tho!) object width="425" height="350"
Oh yeah and since 2000 I have supported the Mighty Rams, Derby County and am not looking forward to the 2007-8 season...... premiership, I mean you know you aint gonna win unless some millionaire decides he's gonna take pitty and splash the cash.......least you can win the Championship, but hey we are founder members, which goes for something AND leeds AND Naffingham woods are way down there where they belong......bring it on...

My Interests

Rockabilly + all associated matters ...! Hot rods, cool bikes...tiki, voodoo (I have a Gambian curse on me..fact!) ..Von Dutch, Von Franco,Tequila Dave! hot rod art, pinstripping - do you see a pattern here... ..

I'd like to meet:

Elvis Presley, Gene Kelly, Johnny Cash, Rita Hayworth, Jane Russell, Bob Hope ...the list goes on you get the idea though!! - Did want to meet Steve Irwin too, ...BUGGER .. bloody sting ray...! An alive person (other than Jane..) would be Debra Messing who plays Grace Adler in Will and Grace...pretty lady, love her hair.....oh and Johnny Depp - nuff said..

....on this site....like minded people?

Music:

Rockabilly, surf, northern soul, swing, country & western

really anything that sounds good to me...whether its 50's or not...sorry purists but that's reality!..we are lucky enopugh to be able to experience more kinds of music then they did back in the era we love.... Don't like that loud booming music that 'yoooths' play in their crappy little tin can cars with stupid bean can exhausts..or any kind of rap, not fond of opera either... do like classical when in a reflective mood...

love the surfin gorillas - and if you get chance check out the Frank Gannon Trio.... :o) (Had to add that! see who my friends are!)
Like the stuff that No9 and Union Avenue do..and most of the flat top brothers remixes!.......

Can't even begin to list all my faves, the more I think the more I could put. - As long as it gets your foot tapping and people are having fun....Life is to be lived and danced through....

Movies:

Anything with Gene Kelly in.. Comedy's especially Life of Brian - "welease wodewick"....
Any of the Disney animated cartoon movies with two levels of humour.....
Don't mind crime thrillers,
most things with Johnny Depp, especially Pirates of the Carribean.
Don't like vampire or werewolf things, but do like the Xmen especially Hugh Jackman, he wasn't too bad in Van Helsing either...Oh I'm waffling now!

This is a favourite of mine...go Buddy Love... .. width="425" height="350" ....
or curling up with a good romantic comedy .....

Television:

I like comedy's (see a pattern there) - I like to laugh! -
Little Britain, thin blue line and the fabulous two pints of lager
US shows like Will N Grace, scrubs and fraser...
I mourn the loss of the fast show, "with an owl in a tree...."
I love anything with the fantastically sweaty Lee Evans or the very clever Mr Izzard in.... width="425" height="350" ....

Titty Bang bang, .. I watch Eastenders but that's it for soaps, unless you count Bad girls...and spooks...
most of the stuff on Animal Channel ....
.. width="425" height="350" ....

Books:

I have a pulp collection and of course hot rod mags! - Don't get the time to read anymore!....gonna write one one day...you've been warned

Heroes:

My mum who left me in 1996 for a better place for her bravery through illness and always having time for others no matter what, I miss her so much God Bless x
Though I don't always agree with them I admire people who stand up for what they believe in as long as it doesn't result in cruelty or terror..
and of course all the men and women of the Services world, Army, Navy, RAF RM - not forgetting world emergency services, police, fire, ambulance, coastguard...we should all bow our heads in respect of what they do so we can live our lives - nuff said!

My Blog
