“ROLL OVER BEETHOVEN, TELL TCHAIKOVSKY THE NEWS”*
Exploring the origins and early days of rock and roll (1940’s to mid 50’s) through excerpts of my course “Good Rockin’ Tonight” including what preceded it, what was the first song, who were the musical architects, and the cultural and musical impact (from “Hot Diggity dog” to “you ain’t nothin’ but a Hound Dog”).
