Further upthread (page 51?) you’ll find a clip of “Marie Marie” by The Blasters. Dave Alvin is the guitarist, and he also wrote it - his brother Phil is the singer. eta: I’m reliably informed that Shakin’ Stevens had a top 20 hit with a cover of Marie Marie. Now, it seems that some think that he wrote it and some think that it’s an old song from 1950s/60s - no-one seems to remember The Blasters! Edited November 23, 2024 by Jarndyce eta Quote

Shake me up Judy Posted December 9, 2024 Posted December 9, 2024 Kim Wilson was so like the late Paul Butterfield. Looked and sounded just like him. The Thunderbirds played here in T.T. about 15 (?) years ago in the Villa. No atmosphere for a band like that though. Quote
