Thank you Al Gore, I had never heard of the Collins Kids before stumbling onto these videos on YouTube (there are more to watch). Lorrie can sing her ass off and Larry rocks the guitar, Rockabilly at its best.

"The Collins Kids were the real deal. While the new music called Rock'n'Roll was mostly sung by adults for young people, these teens walked the walk. Their big break came as regulars on the TV show "Town Hall Party", starting in 1954. Lorrie was 12 and Larry, 10! This Country showcase put them beside June Carter, Tex Ritter, and Larry's guitar mentor, the astounding Joe Maphis. The highlight was watching the elder dueling with his whirling dervish sidekick on double Mosrite guitars." funknroll
