[Franklin1]

G'day All, if you live close to Sydney and were a Rockabilly Rebel in the 1950s (step up to the front, cobber!! ...Not me...I was just a 'Rock-a-bye baby' back then.. ), then you might be interested in a photo exhibition called, "Rockabilly: Living in the '50s", which opened the other day at the Museum of Sydney and goes til August 17. Details can be found here...

And here's a photo of how cobber would have dressed when he was a rebel...

Thanks Al,

I still wear that sort of clobber....didn't realise it had gone out of fashion and I did have a sheila who looked like that back in those days, hair all over 'er face...... those were good days.

Cobber.
