The Lucky Stars

A hillbilly band, I think, nestled somewhere in the armpit of LA.

"It's all your fault if I'm a grandpa
And my grandkids don't call you grandma
I'll just tell them it's all your fault"

There's a song I'll never hear again. It was recorded live at a college radio station, and no other copy is available, as far as I know. Lucky break I heard it when I did.

I just realized why, with my music tastes being as specific as they are, I like Dixieland jazz: it's totally one stage before hillbilly rock, which is then a short step away from Chuck Berry and AC/DC. Dixieland, in turn, opened my ears more toward other kinds of jazz.
