The Collins Kids are my favorite icons of rockabilly, somehow overshadowed by everyone on Sun Records. I love watching videos of them as kids on YouTube and today I saw Larry Collins bop and bounce and grin exactly the way he did when he was nine. It was like witnessing a social experiment on how mannerisms remain the same as you age
My sun fried shoulders are well worth the 45 minute set they played at the Cruisin Back to the 50's car show in Culver City. Lorrie is still gorgeous. She's the original Britney Spears. She dated Ricky Nelson, then eloped with Johnny Cash's manager when she was 16. Larry is mesmerizing and looks like he's done some hard living. They played with Deke Dickerson, a regular headliner in the rockabilly scene, and between Deke and Larry, you've never seen such speedy guitar picking since Town Hall Party
The car show was hosted by George Barris, who is responsible for custom building every iconic vehicle of American television like the Munster's Koach, the Batmobile, the General Lee, the Clampett's Jilopy, and every other car that was on the TV shows that raised you

Cruisin Back to the 50's is a fun event for those getting their first taste of classic car culture but not yet ready to devote their lives to cuffed jeans and cake makeup
