Many thanks to you all for your kind words. As Ecca remarked...between us we're probably all starting each other off again. Like many others too I've been blasting out Jet's recordings. Before someone else mentions it - re: "Nivram", Jet wrote it in conjunction with Hank and Bruce whereas I just attributed sole credit to him! Sorry. Ramon Garcia has kindly offered to translate my effort into Spanish for non - English readers in Spain. So...if anyone wishes to translate it into French or Italian...or any other language...or indeed use it any way shape, or form...then please feel free to do so.

Bests....Rob

In listening to Cliff and the lad's early stuff from 1958 on it becomes ever more apparent how up front was Jet.
His lead lines were sometimes as prominent as Hank's.
Living Doll.
How many songs had a bass intro and outro ?
