ZZ & De Maskers - Dracula
Here's a video sent in by listener Willem in the Netherlands of the first Dutch beatgroup. They accompanied Chubby Checker on "Baby Baby Balla Balla". Willem says: "the language is Dutch. The intro and the content of the Lyrics are loosely based on "Dinner with Drac", but it's an original song from there.
He is singing "Dracula, what are we going to eat?" In between he reads the menu, until he discovers his own name for desert."
Thank you, Willem! Be sure to check out his blog for more Halloween goodies.

Jimmy Bryant & The Voxmobile
Celebrated guitar man Jimmy Bryant poses with the Voxmobile, George Barris' finest creation. Completed in 1968 at a cost of $30,000 it is both an operational motor vehicle and a fully functional mobile amplifier. It has inputs for 32 guitars.
After Vox got through with the car, it was owned by Jimmy Bryant until 1980. More historical details in the clip below, but I must warn you about the annoying goofballs hosting the clip.
And while we're on the subject of Jimmy Bryant, here is a picture taken in his hometown of Moultrie, Georgia.
