ROCKABILLY HALL OF FAMEŽ MERCHANDISE & SERVICES

Here's a great poster from 1954 sent in to us
from one of our readers George Gilbert Lynch.

This is one of my most treasured photos of my sisters, Della and Dorothy Quinn "The Quinn Teens". I am pretty sure Della was fifteen and Dorothy was 13 years old when these photos were taken by Leon Hart. Year 1963. You can see Millie Hart on the side there by Della and I think the man taking the cover off the amp next to Dorothy was the steel player, but I am not certain. Our home town in the days was named the same name as Merele's "Tulare Dust", Tulare, Ca. - Doc "Mistabluesman" Quinn

Dwight in Frozen Food Isle
           "Hi! I want to thank you for your support of one of my recent ventures: the Dwight Yoakam line of frozen food products. What started as 'bringing something special' for the opening of the Crystal Palace has grown beyond my wildest dreams. We now have three food products in national distribution at Wal-Mart Supercenters with others on the way.
           "The three items are: Chicken Lickin's chicken fries, Lanky Links' pork sausage links, and Chicken Lickin's' buffalo style bites. All of these items are precooked for easy preparation as a snack or a meal. As it says on the package, "Just Heat 'Em and Eat 'Em!'
           "These products have been doing so well that starting September 2nd, Wal-Mart Supercenters will be promoting them for a limited time in special display cases in their stores nationwide. If you've already tried these products, this is a great time to stock up. If you haven't had the chance to try them yet, there's never been a better time. Run on down to Wal-Mart Supercenters to try them yourself. They're in the frozen meat section of your local Wal-Mart Supercenter."
           Thank you for all your support over the years. Best regards, Dwight Yoakam
