Thanks guys. i had a print out of the lyrics which is why i dont look into the camera. Yeah Tiny Bradshaw's version was a real swinger and Johnny Burnette Rock n Roll trio is the only other version I like... Aerosmith just about destroyed it!

Hey Uncle John I've given up doing multiple takes as I always balls it up somewhere, so if i cant do it in a 1er (or maybe 2) then i give up and try something else or just leave in the mistakes.

Oh yes. That was good and a lot of fun. Nice playing Mr. Flatfoot.

Rock'n'Rollin'...! (-:
