SUMMONER'S TALES...
"My father liked the big bands of the Dorsey Brothers and Benny Goodman, but it was my mother who brought rock and roll into the house on 78 rpm records of black acetate with brightly colored labels from MGM, RCA, Decca. Little Richard caterwauling 'Tutti Frutti' like a tomcat, Jerry Lee Lewis preaching 'Great Balls of Fire' like a demented evangelist, and Elvis crooning 'All Shook Up' with what I would later identify as rampant sexual innuendo."
