John Battles 5/2 - Happy LINK WRAY DAY !! DEPENDING ON WHO TELLS YOU , LINK MIGHT HAVE BEEN  84 , 86 or even  90 today....It's generally believed he was born in 1930. All those things we take for granted today , he did 'em first.  But , you knew that. Damned if he did'nt destroy on his greatly appreciated , but totally unexpected later US tours . I saw him about 10 times. He gave a bad show once , and that was about 6 months before he died. I saw him , once more ,  shortly after that gig , and he was still great. HE ALWAYS BROUGHT THE ROCK , AND HE HAD A BIG , BAD ROCK'N'ROLL HEART.     Korean War Veteran , Tuberculosis survivor , Father of the Powerchord  , Low - Tech studio and live sound innovator , Member of Shawnee Nation , PATRIARCH OF PUNK , GARAGE , HEAVY METAL, YOU NAME IT.  Monster Guitar PLAYER AND UNDERRATED - AS - FUCK SINGER. COMPOSER OF SOME OF THE NASTIEST INSTRUMENTALS IN ALL ROCK'N'ROLL. But , again , you know all that stuff.  Remember Link Wray , always , and all ways.
