This.

Buddy Holly, to tell him not to get on the plane.

Elvis, to tell him to stay away from the Colonel.

I met Scotty Moore back in the early 90's. Well met.....he was playing about 2 meters in front of me.
This was in Holland, Breda.
I don't remember what year...

Johnny Burnette.
And Elvis..of course.

I met the great Carl Perkins back in 1992. He was playing a show in New york city and the Belmont playboys opened for him. I had a copy of his 1956 album on me and he signed it for me.

I would have liked to be with Jerry Lee Lewis when he was really nuts, lighting stuff on fire, trashing hotels, etc.

good times

Think I may have had to excuse myself from the room when he brought home is 13 year old cousin-bride though

Mac Curtis

Hasil Adkins...

The Legendary Stardust Cowboy!

The Haze
Joe Clay
Ronnie Dawson

As opposed to now as he is Nuts and OLD

I think I would like to have met Luther Perkins and Chuck Berry, but only to find out if Chuck is the J/O everyone says he is. (he is from close by and I know a lot of people who have met and worked with him)

Eddie Cochran,
Had he lived I'm sure he would have been a huge star,great singer, great guitar player, great songwriter and he had movie star looks!

EDDIE COCHRAN!!! Love all his music
But would also like to meet Chuck Berry and would love to have met Carl Perkins (He's the MAN!)
But theres only 3 people I would love to meet in real life now,I know this is cheating,BUT it has to be any of The Stray Cats, Brian , Lee , Slim Jim

Brian Setzer
Lee Rocker
Slim Jim Phantom
Bo Diddley
Carl Perkins
Scotty Moore
John Jorgenson (not a rockabilly great, but a great guitar player, was with The Birds in the 60's)

I would have liked to have met Elvis, he seemed like a pretty cool guy before he wigged out. Wanda Jackson would be another, she's a great rockabilly singer. Joyce Green too. Any of the greats....Perkins, Holly, Vincent, Cochrane, of course The Brian, Scotty Moore etc.

Buddy Holly hands down. What would the beatles be without him? I'm conviced he would've become the beatles had he lived

What would Buddy Holly have gone onto had he lived?
Glenn A Baker (Australian Music journalist) said he thought Buddy'd be playing the clubs and nostalgia shows along with his contemporaries if he was still alive.
Who knows?

Yeah!
I once had a dream where he was in my room and let me play his 6120!!
I'm sure there's a message behind this dream.
I had it after reading this mag for a 1000 times:

MY FIRST THOUGHT!!!

But I'd also like to meet Eddie Cochran and Elvis. Who in their right mind wouldn't want to meet Elvis? He was a gorgeous man, and it sounds like he was also a wonderful man to know.

Eddie Cochren , Elvis , Buddy Holly ,
and the queen of rockabilly
