I liked 'Sea Cruise;' it had that early rockabilly sound that was innocent rock 'n roll, that rhythm, like someone thumping on the top
of an old piano--not taking a lot of instrumentation, just that rhythm, and 'Oowe, oowe baby, oowe...' like a train, that backbeat
that made good dance music, and a simple expression--baby, let me take you on a sea cruise. Think how we danced to it--I remember,
we were doing 'the stroll.' |

Our bass player (Garland Abbott III) still does that tune at least once or twice a week on our gigs and it'll still fill up the dance floor.....JH in Va.

| I had the chance to see him twice and boy was he full of energy. His performance was moving to say the least. |
