Sounds about right Eric. My first record player had Mickey Mouse on it and the first 45 record I wore out was Burl Ives singing Little White Duck. My big brother showed me how to tape a nickel on the arm so it wouldn't skip.
I'm 42, Jim. Â My mother probably got the album in college given the date and I remember it had a piece of tape on it with a 25 cent price from when she tried to sell it and other albums in a yard sale. Â I took out a couple that looked cool when she wasn't watching and stashed them in my room. Â I was probably 4 or 5.
The record player could have been a yard sale purchase from my mother or grandmother. Â I don't remember exactly.
Wow Eric, Paul Revere on a Happy Days record player. You're obviously older than I would have guessed!
Thanks Unc! I've been working at it.
Love it, Jim.  I saw Jack Ely of the Kingsmen died.  He sure sounded good on this song, but he had a major diction malfunction.   Man, your slide work is nice! Â
I got a finger picking version of the same riff, but no looper so I can't get the slide in there too. Â I'll have to start working on the solo. Â Paul Revere and the Raiders are one of my first rock n roll memories. Â It is one my mother's albums that survived numerous yard sale attempts in the mid-70s. Â I had a Happy Days theme record player and I played this album almost every day. Â
Dave Clark Five "Glad All Over" is the other one I remember making it to my early collection.
Thanks wes. I was hoping the slide would work on this.
Thanks Sammy. Now I'm working on a Ben E King song since he passed away at the end of April. It promises to be infectious as well, lol
Thanks Eric. Gotta love them 3 chord songs. Ripping off is totally acceptable!
