He was the drummer for a lot of Top 40 records, including songs recorded by friends he knew from high school – Jan Berry, Dean Torrence, Kim Fowley, and Phil Spector. In addition to working as a […] 2021 was a great year for music documentaries. For many of us, it felt like a godsend to find these treasures after the extremely difficult and challenging year of 2020. Billie was the powerful film about Billie Holliday, built upon previously unheard audio interviews conducted by Linda Lipnack Kuehl, who was working on a […] This week, I’ve invited my old friend Michael Dresbach to be a special guest blogger.

I grew up in Okinawa, Japan (well, it wasn’t “Japan” […] It’s time for the first LOUIE post for 2021! It’s a new year, as we hit the “restart” with a new operating system in the USA, which will hopefully be a better year than the other year!

Backed by the (Fabulous) Wailers of Tacoma, Washington, this was THE version that transformed […] On the third day of LOUIE LOUIE 2020 Christmas, someone gave to me… BRYAN AND THE BRUNELLES Bryan and The Brunelles were Barry ‘Snip’ Turner, Eddy Spence, Ray Goodship, John Bachini, and Bryan Burke. A British band that recorded LOUIE LOUIE in 1965 at the legendary Abbey Road studio in London? I had […] On the second day of LOUIE LOUIE 2020 Christmas, someone gave to me… SMOKY & THE BEARS! I’m not sure what to think about Smoky & the Bears. There’s nothing here that acknowledges Smokey Bear, the legendary advertising icon that spoke out on behalf of the U.S. Forest Service. This isn’t even a real […] On the first day of LOUIE LOUIE 2020 Christmas, someone gave to me… DESPERADOS!
