Hello to All,
I be back from my USA Holiday.
I met an long Time Friend again. His Names is Narvel Felts, he recorded on Sun Label in the 50 th and be a Country Star in the 70 th, he had his 50 th Stage Anniversary this Year.
I know him now for 14 Years ,a Wondeful Man with an incredible Voice he always told me great storys about the Rock N Roller he knew, He knew most of them and he like to share his Memorys. He was on tour with one of my Favorites Charlie Rich for 11 Years.
I never asked him about Gene, because I never interested in him ( I know a Shame! )
This Time I asked him He told me he go to 2 Shows of Gene in St Louis 1957
he visit Gene Backstage and they chatted for 2 Hours, Narverl was very proud that Gene directly knew who he was and that his first Sinlge was "Kiss be Baby".The talked mostly about Music, everyone knows how Gene love to talk about Music .Narvel said Gene was very nice and do and amazing Show later. Narvel was a long Time Friend of Paul Peek till he died.
I visit a Record Show in USA and found some Great Gene Records for my Collection, great Japanease '45s and LPs. I be so lucky to find 3 diffrent Hot Rod Gang EPS in mint Condition One regular US also a Promo Radio Station Copy and the Austalien Copy, the Pic Cover has a little diffrent Color.

Im still looking for the French Book from " Thierry Liesenfeld,The Story behind his Songs"
Im also looking for Gene Performances on DVD, except the regular Stuff.
I hope anyone can help me to find it!

Sincerely!Martina

Welcome back, Martina!
Narvel Felts is a favorite of mine as for his early stuff (Sun-Mercury) as later works. A right man as they say!
Sorry I can't help you for the Liesenfeld's book. I've just one.
Regards
See ya later here

Glad to know you came to USA and had a good time! Where did you go?

We met Narvel Felts a couple of times with Greg, once in Jackson Tennessee, and lately at Green Bay. He is a Great person, very friendly.. That's such a nice story he told you about Gene!!

If you ever come back, around Ohio, or to a festival, let us know about it! I also own Thierry Liesenfeld's book, but only one copy.. Sorry about that!
Alan Clark might have some, but that would cost a lot in postage from US to Europe, it's a real heavy book.

I'm French, just got married to a US Citizen, Greg. And I moved in Cleveland. We knew each other for 4 years. You can see pictures of us down in the 'anniversiare' part of this forum under the subject 'Elvire and Greg 17 aout 2007'. The link is:

We also introduced ourselves here:

Next week we will go and see a tribute show to Jerry Lee Lewis in Cleveland sponsored by the Rock'N'Roll Hall Of Fame (that has Gene Vincent and Eddie Cochran as nominees among others..).. Narvel Felts will be there, with Wanda Jackson, Jack Clement, Jerrry Lee's sister Linda Gail, his cousin, Jimmy Swaggart, etc.. Jerry Lee Lewis wasn't announced, but this week a newspaper wrote he will show up.. So hopefully he will!!

Have a good weekend!
