One thing in the Schenk's Garage that is a tad out of place is the Beatles Lunchbox sitting on top of the vintage refrigerator. Everything else deals with our road, but I guess kids might have had lunches lovingly packed by their moms for those family excursions along Route 66. Dawn doesn't EVEN like the Beatles, even the pre Sgt. Pepper ones when they were into the old RnR. Ask her about this lunch box.
Hillbilly Jones might just rank up there with my other favorite Route 66 band, Asleep at the Wheel. You can have a mighty good party with these guys. And, they don't just play Rockabilly songs even if they do put it on other songs.
Besides that great Hee Haw song, they did Jimi Hendrix, the bee gees' "Staying Alive" (Disco Rockabilly??!!), "Viva Las Vegas," and "The Weight."
They thanked the Schenk's for "having us in the coolest garage anywhere in the world."
It was a wonder that the stand up bass was still in one piece when they finished. It sure took a beating that day.
When they finished, we knew we still had about a four hour drive to get home so had to leave right away.

RoadDog's RoadLog Blog: Being my travels down those great two lane highways of this nation as well as news I learn about them from media sources. Since I'm also very interested in historic preservation, there will be a lot of that as well.
The Shamrock Court Motel in Sullivan, Missouri. It can be yours for $125,000. Lots of possibilities. Actually, now you're too late. Missouri's Roamin' Rich bought it.
