Is there still an active scene in L.A. ? Do car clubs still pull up to Bob's Big Boy on Friday nights? Record hops?

Circa 1995

The album that started it all for me

It's a 1940s style Ricky jacket with the Thunderbird pattern.

Y'all wouldn't believe how often you hear Wanda Jackson playing in the clubs here in Beirut. It's usually 'Fujiama Mama' or 'Funnel of Love', but this piece reads "This gun don't care who it shoots" written in red and blue Arabic calligraphy, and "the Queen of Rockabilly" written in hot pink, to form a Lady Smith and Wesson revolver.

Every time I hear them blast her music here I get homesick for Nashville and the Rockabilly Rollercoaster we rode at Opryland growing up. I know this is pretty weird and niche but I hope y'all like it. DM me if you want prints, all shipped from Beirut!
