"Mother's Old Rocking Chair" / "Always Of You Alone"

SERIAL#: 800
DATE: 1964 - 09

MISC NOTES: Although the media hyped this record up as being "rock 'n' roll," it wasn't. It did have an electric guitar riff -- played almost as a rock parody - and a drum kit pushing the song along, the main attraction was the Swingin' Granny shtick in which she performed while sitting in a chair and then surprising viewers by launching into some incongruous dance moves based on "The Twist" fad.
