- About me: Jersey born, loudmouthed, gun touting, capitalist / godless wicked heathen, organ playing romantic (wink) who believes in rock and/or roll, self reliance and, consequently, has no time for your hippie bullshit. Qui Tacet Consentit.
Note: All of the music which appears here is tattooed on glorious vinyl. It has been plucked outta the garbage, mildewed basements, broiling attics, and assorted crawlspaces and has been uploaded free or charge for your listening pleasure (i.e. I play the part of the obsessive lunatic who never gets laid so you don’t have to.).
All music has been recorded with no noise reduction or variable EQ in an effort to preserve the imperfections associated w/ the medium as well as the ravages of time. No copyright/ownership is implied. If by chance you know of, or are yourself affiliated with any members/attractions included herein, then I (and the three people who read this dreck) would love to hear your story. If, consequently, you would like any materials removed, contact me and I will do so, but keep in mind that I reserve the right to call you a dick and out you on this blog. I aint makin’ any money (half of nothin’ is nothin’). Just relax.

I got to know Billy Davis a bit when he was playing w/Hank Ballard & the Midnighters in the late 80's, he was a helluva sweet guy. When he retired from music in '89 he took to teaching crippled children. He can be heard on many late 50's and early 60's Midnighters sides having replaced Cal Green when Cal went to prison.
I'd always yell for Spunky Onions when they played which always made him laugh, but they never played it.
I would think helping crippled children is right up there with saving orphaned kittens from a burning church.
Deeds don't get much "gooder" than than that, even as far as boyscouts are concerned.
Wasn't Sonny Woods a Musician of some repute as well? I hear-tell he played in an early incarnation of the Midnighters.
The extra "than" was for emphasis...ya know, intentional.
i shoulda bought that copy when i had the chance huh...???
"Wasn't Sonny Woods a Musician of some repute as well? I hear-tell he played in an early incarnation of the Midnighters."
Sonny Woods was a singer, he was one of the original Royals who became the Midnighters, pre-dating Hank Ballard's joining the group. He left early on and I'm not sure what happend to him. Vocal groups are like baseball teams w/members changing so often is hard to come up with reliable dates and information on who's who.
...as well as who went to prison for armed robbery. It's a toss up.
