I have to say I've been kinda bummed out that the mainstream media really didn't give enough due to the passing of Link Wray. The man was the physical manifestation Rock n' Freakin' Roll. He'll be greatly missed, but his legacy, not to mention the power chord, will live forever.
There is a terrific collection of posts, including a bunch of MP3s out there paying tribute to the Wray-man, and you can find them collected in one place thanks to the always fantastic blog
PCL Linkdump, so groove on those for awhile.
And make double sure you visit that fountain of goodness we call
casetta, cause he's got a batch of crucial Link Wray MP3s waiting to rock yer ass off. I knew he'd hook us up!
