I remember spending exorbitant amounts of time inside his small bedroom on Mavis Street, playing my 45 records on his very cool 45 record player. “And now rock ‘n roll fans, for our next tune, brought to you by our sponsor, Coca Cola, the pause that refreshes, it’s Marty Robbins and his hit song, A White Sport Coat. My older brother also collected 45’s during that seminal time, and I credit him as my primary influence. Most of my fondest childhood memories centers around the music of that time. I was five years old when I received my......
