fretplay Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 I know we were talking about forgotten guitar solos earlier in the month but this one has just come to mind. Connie Frances sang Lipstick On Your Collar in the fifties. A silly song but given status by the wonderful guitar break played by George Barnes. It's on You Tube, give it a spin.

The solo I did at 13 years old. Haha, Well? I figured since no one responded I might as well. It's been long forgotten. Yes, I remember that song well. They played it a lot back then. I was 6 when it was released. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I remember that song well. They played it a lot back then. I was 6 when it was released. I was 14, there was some good guitar breaks in the Rock n Roll days largely forgotten. The one in Bill Halley's Rock Around the Clock was good too. I met his grandson who told me that his grandfather died soon after in a tragic accident falling down some stairs I believe, he was only in his twenties. Of course these were the days before Rock Gods and all the electric effects, I would think most of us would be pushed to name any Scoty Moore perhaps, James Burton..

He lived to be 92....had played for Benny Goodman previously which I didn't know - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franny_Beecher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdgm Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 (edited) On the Rock Around the Clock recording session I think Frank Beecher was playing guitar but the solo was played by Danny Cedrone Many thanks - you are of course quite right - and he IS the guy who fell down some stairs 10 days later and broke his neck. Beecher then took his place as a permanent band member. Good call! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danny_Cedrone Edited April 22, 2019 by jdgm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
