The guy that plays that opening piano bit on Leader Of The Pack was only 14 years old. Later on he wrote Say Goodbye To Hollywood as an homage to The Ronnettes. Virtually identical to Be My Baby.
Lefty doesn't get mentioned much these days, Dav, but if you listen closely it becomes blindingly obvious as to where Merle Haggard drew his inspiration and modelled his style.

Just for you, Dav, a master at work in '64.

Thanks, Lohengrin. I've always liked Lefty's music. He was the height of his popularity in the mid-50s while I was stationed just outside Nashville and heard him regularly on WSM.
Thank Heaven he did copy Lefty in the end. I have a 4-disk set of Haggard's early works and I almost choked when I heard the first half-dozen or so, recorded when he first started out and was working with Buck Owens and was clearly copying him so well I couldn't tell the difference.
As I said, thank Heavens he didn't stay with fauz-Owens!

I know you don't drink any more, Dav...but I do! I'm sat with a bottle of Jim Beam, sipping away quietly as I type, with this classic album playing by the side of me.
I'm day off tomorrow and life isn't such a bad thing when you can revel in the things you enjoy

This man for me, away from the robbed songs by Clapton is the real deal. Recorded from 1956 through to his death in 2013. Any one with an ear for music will know immediately where dire straits got their primary influence, even down to guitar and singing style.
