Big Daddy Roth Month: The Orbitron-- Lost and Found!
 |
| Note the tricolor headlight array, mimicking the dot pattern on a color television screen. |
The Orbitron was always a favorite of mine among Big Daddy's cars, but I'm apparently in the minority. There was never a model kit, slot car, or Hot Wheel, either in 1965 or since, and unlike the Outlaw and the Mysterion, it didn't even get its own Car Craft cover, as you can see.

| Only approximately 1/12 of the cover? An insult! |

Mr. Gasser & The Weirdos
Hot Rod Hootenany was released in 1963 with cover art by Big Daddy aka Mr. Gasser. Musicians included Ichiban All-Stars Gary Usher, Glen Campbell, Jerry Cole and Darlene Love, just to name a few! Long out of print, the geniuses over at Sundazed Records reissued a limited edition run for Black Friday.

Jack Dupree and King Curtis live on stage in Montreux
As CJD month winds down, here's a concert appearance from Montreux, Switzerland in 1971. Check out Aretha in the audience in the red dress!
This was released on LP as well, but it's really the sort of thing YouTube was invented for.
