Happy 66th birthday to DUANE EDDY!
The King of the Twangy Guitar was born April 26, 1938 in Corning, NY, and grew up in Arizona. His late '50s/early '60s instrumental hits included "Movin' and Groovin'," "Rebel Rouser," "Cannonball," "Yep," "40 Miles of Bad Road," "The Lonely One," "Because They're Young," "Peter Gunn," and "Dance With The Guitar Man." Eddy also appeared on the Art of Noise's 1986 remake of "Peter Gunn."

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DUANE EDDY!!! :party::toast::yourock:

2. I remember listening to Duane when I was a little girl.
My mom liked him and had a couple of his albums. He's cool!

3. Tuned his guitar down an octave and
played in an abandoned water tank, or so I hear. Great sound, great tunes. HAPPY BIRTHDAY DUANE EDDY!
