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.

C1    C2    C3    C4    C5 

Saturday Evening, May 19:

A1-A2: James Intveld.

B1: Mac Curtis. 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).

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.
