The Byrds

• Official Byrds Home Page (Kenton Adler)
  Byrds guiding light Roger McGuinn is very active in this web site, and has contributed many pictures and some exclusive sound files, including a monthly folk song available for downloading.

The picture files also contain rare shots of George and Ringo.

  Speaking of the Killer, here's the great man himself...this is Jerry Lee's official website. (Would Elvis have done this?) Lots of up-to-date info, touring schedules, fan club info, merchandise, etc. I've been lucky enough to see the Killer six times (got to shake his hand once!) and as the saying goes, when he's hot, nobody can touch him (or something like that). The Killer rocks on! (It's quite ironic that the music of Sun Records and the whole rockabilly scene is much bigger in Europe today than it is in America.)

• San Francisco Giants Virtual Dugout
  "The Giants win the pennant! The Giants win the pennant!" I was one of the fans in the Candlestick Park stands when we won the National League in '89. It was one of the happiest moments of my life. I experienced a different kind of emotion in those same stands on Oct. 17 when the earthquake hit before game 3 of the World Series. Go Giants (especially against those bums, the Dodgers)!
  
• Scooter's Sports Club
  "Scooter" is, of course, Phil Rizzuto, one of the all-time great baseball announcers (though nobody will ever beat the Giants' Hank Greenwald, who retired at the end of the '96 season. It won't be the same without ya, Hank!). Anyway, this is Scooter's outpost on the Web. By the way, notice the URL.
