Brian's influence?

I never heard of these kids, but the Setzer's playing sounds a lot like Larry!
Where the Collins Kids big in the 50's?
I don't believe their fame ever reached Holland.

Hi,

i think they were not so big like Elvis, Carl Perkins but they recorded a lot of song, did a bunch of TV Shows and i think they still again on tour.

I have the 2 CD Album from Bear records of the Collins Kids, great Album.
One of my favorites "Just because"

and for sure their Hit "Hop, skip and jump"

And hey, she was a really nice and sweet girl, arnt´t she.

I guess Rickabilly knows more than me and could tell us a lot intersting things about the Kids.
I like them...but their influence to Brian? I don´t know. They did and still do Rock`n Roll.

They are still doing the thing.... although they are not kids anymore...

They were in Spain like 3 years ago:

Never reached Australia either
I can definitely see the Setzer comparison, though I think it's coincidental.
