Link and Duane

long ago in a land of my youth
when I noticed music made my mind drift
I had no idea at the time I was very short in tooth
I only knew that it made me feel it was a special gift

as my teens arrived I was in the groove
suddenly I began hearing the electric strings
no one before made my ear and my feet move
guitars sat in the back and were for rhythm and things

new faces arrived and out in the front
playing amplied sounds not a sound I knew
only a few years older was this a trick or a stunt
tremelo and vibrato and echo some inventions new

combed wavy hair never ever out of place
handsome smiles twinkled eyes driving the girls
I wanted to have that kind of look on my baby face
make some money buy the ladies diamonds  and pearls

the lads of early rock guitar Link and Duane
not even close to the sounds of the boys of today
but they were the beginning of music in the fast lane
wonder what they are doing now Duane Eddy and Link Wray
