R.I.P. Larry Donn 1941 - 2012

A true blue rock n' roller to the very end, Larry will be greatly missed. He was born Larry Donn Gillihan in Bono Arkansas on his parent's farm. He was inspired to a life of music after seeing Sonny Burgess and the Pacers perform at his high school gymnasium! Shortly after that, he saw Elvis perform and later on Billy Lee Riley and was certainly influenced by both. He gave us one of the best two-sided rockers on Vaden with "Honey Bun"/"That's What I Call A Ball" recorded in either 1959 or 1960. He also cut "The Girl Next Door" on Ad-bur and a couple of more 45's for Alley records.

1940's Carhartt Lace Back Salt & Pepper Chambray Pants

If you didn't already know, these fantastic work pants sold on eBay for a whopping $1,550. I've seen them in denim before, but not in chambray (apparently there was another pair listed earlier in the year I missed). Wish I had a few of these to sell...and one to wear! Oddly, the seller said that Carhartt could not find these in their catalog archives and thinks they could be a salesman's sample? I think the simple fact that other pairs were floating around on eBay would probably negate this theory. They probably just went out with a really low production run OR just never made in a catalog (perhaps Carhartt's archive is also not that complete either).

New Blogger Format?


Anyone else think this is a little weird and unnecessary? Makes me wonder if the tech guys just get bored and like to mess with stuff? Sort of like the new time line on FB....
