In the beginning, there was The Blues. After a hundred years or so The Blues got pregnant (Rhythm is assumed to be the father, but Country is also a suspect). The Blues had a baby and they called it Rock-and-Roll. It was a beautiful bloody fetus that everyone loved. At first R&R, a mere baby god, inspired mostly people with funny haircuts, like Buddy Holly and Chuck Berry and Elvis Parsley. These guys used Fender Champs and other amplifiers that pulled less wattage than a dim lightbulb, and they had drummers that went bump-bumpety-click tish-tish over and over. A lot. Just be patient.
