Marshall Lytle - Rock Baby Rock It Festival Continental Club Stage, Houston TX - July 21, 2012

[North Carolina] Marshall Lytle, of Bill Haley & the Comets fame, is one of the originators of slap bass. He’s also famous for riding the bass. He was backed by the same drummer and guitarist, the manager of the Houston Continental Club (Pete) on keyboard, and a guy in a Houston t-shirt on the saxophone. He told a story about how the Comets and Alan Freed started the term ‘rock’ (“rock this joint tonight”). His legendary-ness was not enough to keep me from wanting my bed – no more all day music festivals. (Photo courtesy of http://www.rockabillyhall.com/crazylytlepage.html.)
