Since Roy O.'s birthday was mentioned, it's only fair to mention someone who is still living and rocking - Duane Eddy is 73!

And glad that you mentioned it!! He's 73 years old on the 26th. He's from my older brother's generation, more than mine. But as a little boy I remember my brother playing his music and I thought it was WAY cool. Because They're Young is one of those songs from my boyhood that's just etched into my memory. It was beautiful then, and it still is today.

There's some Guild material there as the photos scroll by while the song plays. If you're into LUSH STRING ARRANGEMENTS, as I am, this song will work for you. In 1960, Guild Guitars introduced the Duane Eddy Models DE-400 and the deluxe DE-500. A limited edition of the DE-500 model was reissued briefly in 1983 to mark Eddy's 25th anniversary in the recording industry.
Thanks for reminding us about Duane Eddy. Tom in Vegas
