Tom Waits & Howdy Doody
In May 1973, Tom Waits was opening act for Buffalo Bob's Howdy Doody Revival at Atlanta's Great Southeast Music Hall. Yep.
Hi, have been reading through your postings and found them to be interesting. Currently I am doing research on the musician Carl Perkins who also played with Johnny Cash and has a brief connection to Bob Dylan aswell (he completed the song "Champaign, Ill." by Dylan which the forementioned then gave to him as a gift. Do you have any memories in relation to Carl Perkins or personally know someone who has, and might has documented them? Would be nice to get in touch. All the best from Berlin, Germany Stephan
So sorry, I have no information about Carl Perkins for you. Perhaps a visitor will have something to share. Best of luck with your search, and thank you for stopping by!
