MUSIC FROM THE PAST: GOOD ROCKIN BOOGIE

Sleepy LaBeef, the great rockabilly artist, was born in Slackover, Arkansas, the youngest of ten children raised on a melon farm.  If that isn't quintessential rockabilly, I don't know what is.  Known for having a standard repertoire of over a thousand songs.  At age 76, he still performs over 200 shows a year and (I can testify) his shows crackle!
