George, God bless him, has spent the last few weeks posting ... let's see if I have this straight ... 1,358 photos to the site, including promo photos of such local luminaries as The Chessmen, The Rogues and The In-Crowd on the set of Bonnie and Clyde. And since the end of May, he's cataloged hundreds and hundreds of photos of 45s cranked out by long-forgotten labels (Bismark, Castle, Donnybrook) and their longer-forgotten artists. "It's just a start," he says. "When I find a little bit, I just grab a box and go for it."
But one in particular, posted yesterday, was completely new to me: Wes Reynolds's "The Dallas Push." I asked George if the mid-'60s single was all right. He said it was "pretty good" -- not as good as, say, "Dance, Franny, Dance," but it's got a good beat, and you can dance to it. At which point he kindly ripped and converted a copy, which he said I was free to share with the Friends of Unfair Park. Feel free to thank him next Wednesday, when the Vinyl Preservation Society has its monthly "spin-o-rama" at the Bryan Street Tavern at 8.
