\"Wanda<\/p>\n

I recently did a little video test with a small consumer still camera. I’d been reading about a versatile little Panasonic- Leica Lumix TZ1<\/strong> camera over at Kevin Kelly’s Cool Tools<\/strong> webpage<\/a>, so I decided to pick up one of these little units to replace my tired old Nikon digicam.<\/p>\n

Rockabilly legend Wanda Jackson<\/strong><\/a> did a show last weekend in Felton last week, backed by my favorite local country band, Red Meat<\/strong><\/a>, so I decided I’d do a test to see how well this little camera would work in a concert environment. Here’s a performance of the song “Mean Mean Man,” shared with you for free on America’s favorite new TV channel- YouTube.

Overall, I was very impressed with the quality of this little pocket camera. The audio is so-so, but the picture quality is pretty good, considering the club lighting. It blows me away that I can shoot 20 minutes worth of decent video (640 x 680- 4:3 , or 848 x 480 – 16:9 widescreen at 30fps Quicktime) on a 2 GB SD card that’s about the same size of a postage stamp. The 10x Leica optical lens is not too shabby either. It’s a nice little travel companion to carry around without too much hassle.<\/p>\n

Wanda Jackson, by the way, was excellent, as always. I’ve seen her perform five, maybe six times, and she always delivers a great show. <\/p>\n

Some of you may be asking, “What connection, if any, does Wanda Jackson have to the LOUIE LOUIE universe?” Back in 1954, Richard Berry<\/strong>, author of LOUIE LOUIE, was the anonymous lead singer with the Robins<\/strong> for one of their earliest hits- “Riot in Cell Block #9” written by Jerry Leiber<\/strong> & Mike Stoller<\/strong>. Seven years later, Wanda recorded “Riot In Cell Block #9,” and it became a hit once again.<\/p>\n

Like Elvis Costello<\/strong><\/a>, I believe that Wanda Jackson should be a member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame<\/a>. I also think that this particular organization should admit Richard Berry<\/strong>, Screamin’ Jay Hawkins<\/strong>, the Wailers<\/strong>, the Flairs<\/strong>, the Kingsmen<\/strong>, Paul Revere & the Raiders<\/strong>, the Sonics<\/strong>, Moby Grape<\/strong>, Quicksilver Messenger Service<\/strong>, Cheap Trick<\/strong>, Dave Clark Five<\/strong> and the Monkees<\/strong>. <\/p>\n

Of course, this is just one man’s opinon. If this is something you can agree with, then feel free to pester the folks at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame<\/a>!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
