Arkansas Delta Rockabilly Festival, anyone going?

[Atterbury Dodd]

So... I haven't been saying a lot on here lately... are any of the Arkansas folks thinking of going to the rockabilly festival in Helena? Or any other Fedora Loungers? I plan on trying to make it Saturday. I want to hear and possibly meet the Queen of Rock and Roll, Wanda Jackson! There's going to be several other folks that were around in the early days of Rock and Roll as well.

Apparently not

Helena isn't that far from Memphis...........will Elvis be there?

Wanda is great fun live, and very sweet in person too if you get a chance to meet her. She's like somebody's Nana, just a lot more rock and roll than the average. Quite possibly (apart from maybe Priscilla, I suppose) the nearest many of us will ever get to meeting Elvis.

Haha he was not there, but several people that knew him were there. And a dude that thought he was Elvis and Jerry Lee all in one lol

Wow just saw this... I could have been there.

One of the best in Arkansas rockabilly was born just a few miles from me.

...I should have asked if anybody was going a few weeks ahead. Well, there's still the blues festival in Helena in October.

Charlie Rich, yeah!
