The wurzels? that explains it, its the Cider thats done yeh.
Have to admit that some of us more 'thinking drinkers' down the Pickwick,Block,Anchor on an afternoon sussed out that a pint of cider had more kick than the pee poor lager and bitter they shoved out in them days.
I've heard of Hank Ballard 'cos it was him who invented the 'Twist' and made Chubby Checker famous by writing all those hits for him, such as 'Lets twist again' and the like.
He also wrote lots of hits for other artists without much success as an artist himself.
I was listening to a cd of Nelson Riddle when i came accross a singer who i had never heard of before, a lady called Linda Ronstadt, outstanding, well worth listening to.,
