Well,I saw that we only have a topic about The Comets and I think, Bill deserves one, too, starting with his first real big hit. Note that they hadn't a regular lead guitar back then.

Guitar Boogie was a regular number used by Haley and the Comets. Johnny Kay, as you probably know, was the lead guitar player in the 60's (1962-1967), and a version of him doing guitar boogie was released on the CD "Bill Haley and friends vol.4 - Johhny Kay Tale of a Comet". The version is from a concert done at the Friedberg E.M. Club in Germany on Sept.4 1966. Danny Cedrone, as you probably know, worked only as a session musician for Haley from 1951 to 1954, and is most famous for his great solo in Rock Around the Clock, recorded in April 1954. Cedrone accidentally died in the summer '54. I don't know when Cedrone recorded Guitar Boogie Shuffle but it was released on CD a couple of years ago "Danny Cedrone - Guitar vituoso".

Ulli wrote:Sure, I've got this one and also Fingers on Fire by Nick and different versions of The Beak Speaks, Goofin' Around and so on. But I've only had heard of this one available version of Guitar Boogie, so it's great for me to look for something, I didn't know 'til now. Do you have got Nick Nastos' steel guitar solo album?
