Marvin came over to England in 1980 to play some country shows.He did not know about the Rock a Billy scene,
Boo Hoo was a big bopper at the time (on Fed Ep). He played Portsmouth at a C&W club, Me and some Rock a billy pals went along & went back stage, He said he had never sang the song but if we tort him the words he would sing it tonight.With us teaching him the words & him strumming the giutar he learnd the song. He came out that night & rocked out boo hoo for the first time. Great & nite & great memories

Marvin Rainwater Month is a great idea. I saw Marvin at the North Town Opry in North Kansas City, MO, in the 1990s. There was a White Castle just two blocks away. That was a really cool night! Sliders for chow time AND Mr. Gonna Find Me A Bluebird in person. I took pictures which you can see on Flickr.
I can remember hearing Marvin on the car radio when I was a kid. Treat yourself to the Marvin Rainwater Bear Family CD box set.
