Photos from the "Rockin' 50's Fest III" |
This is certainly not a comprehensive photographic compendium, as I could only attend the last day and a half of this event which ran May 16-20, 2007. Official details and relevant links are on the Oneida Bingo & Casino and Rockabilly Hall of Fame sites. The photos shown here were taken with actual film (!) utilizing stage lighting (i.e., no distracting flash). I didn't have the telefoto lens available Saturday, and a few shots are rendered in sepia tone where the original colors were awful. I would really like to get the name of each of the individual performers in the following photos. |

The first of four artists to appear in an hour-long set. B2: Ray Campi. A great artist, gentleman and walking encyclopedia who I had the great pleasure of meeting thanks to Alan Clark. Ray's detailing of the career of cowboy singer Ray Whitley was much appreciated. B3: Johnny Powers. B4: Joe Clay. C1-C5: The Collins Kids. With the "excuse" that the words to "Let's Have A Party" (a Collins Kids original) were forgotten, Wanda Jackson was easily persuaded to come out and save the day (Photo C5). |
| D1 E1 E2 F1 G1 G2 G3 H1 H2 H3 I1 I2 J1 J2 K1 L1 L2 L3 | Sunday Afternoon and Evening, May 20:D1: Sonny West. E1-E2: The Bobbettes. F1: Marvin Rainwater. G1-G3: Wanda Jackson with the Lustre Kings. H1-H3: Slim Jim Phantom and Darrell Higham. I1-I2: Dale Hawkins. J1-J2: Filling in for the ailing Bo Diddley: Slim Jim Phantom, Darrell Higham & Co. K1: Speedo and the Cadillacs. L1-L3: Rocky Burnette and Darrell Higham. Rocky sang his Dad's "Dreamin'" as a slow acoustic ballad which I thought was the highlight of his act. So when is Bear Family going to start putting out a complete biodiscographical Darrell Higham CD compilation? Volume I is long overdue. |
