   About Link Wray
"..Born May 2nd, 1929 in Dunn, North Carolina, Link is three quarters Shawnee Indian. At the age of eight, he learned to play the guitar from Hambone, an African-American man who was travelling with Barnum and Baileys circus. He noticed Link on the porch banging his Maybelle-guitar At the age of fifteen, Link paid twenty dollars a night to sit in with the country and western musician Tex Ritter (High Noon) in order to further his musical knowledge. He also played with Wild Bill Elliot. Link played with his brother Doug and first cousin Shorty Horton in his band: Link Wray and the Wraymen. He played at the Hank Williams memorial in 1953. Link is known for his instrumental hit single Rumble. And to quote Uncut magazine, who voted Link ..33 of the 100 best guitarist list in the World as the composer of the worlds most threatening instrumental: The violent intimations of Rumble so struck sensitive late 50s sensibilities that it was banned by many radio stations. Not bad for an instrumental. Rumble will outlive us all. Link Wray is known for being the first musician to experiment with the sounds that pioneered rock and roll and punk styles. Link virtually invented fuzz tone by deliberately punching holes in his amplifier speakers. He was also a true pioneer of the use of distortion on instrumental rock recordings.."

What's up Link Wray? I desire to see life through your hallucinations so that they massage my viscera into an eternal state of turgid flux. What wonderful vibrations you are capable of. Your intoxicating reflection can but incorporate freely into the powerful surface of a disintegrating mirror set afloat upon a swarm of locusts. Your eyes show as many deep and full shades of fire as a volcano in heat. Cities crumble, skies ignite spontaneously in your presence. Blinking reveals the true visage of beauty hidden within your eyes. In your presence even my shadow acquires the sensation of touch. Entranced by the sweet harmony of your lips, I gaze beyond reason to find the oasis of your brilliant soul. The skin I shed is a perfume that makes water bubbles so terribly clear to me. If I could have just one wish, it would be to wake up to your songs in the morning. The music that flows from your instruments overwhelms me with creativity. Transistors bridge where your vanity would never go. May you always have stables of horses to service your needs.
