Commander Cody


The Commander has left us at 77.  I wonder what St. Peter said to him at the Pearly Gates.

Fun stuff…CC brought joy humor and fine musicianship together and helped preserve a tradition of Texas Swing and Rockabilly for his generation. In countless local joints bands inspired by the LPA would entertain and delight. In Boston we had Memphis Rockabilly. I doubt they would have formed if not for the Commander. R. I. P. 
RIP to the Commander.  Another great loss Bob Mathews , the origional roadie and sound engineer that brought us some great music from the start with the Grateful Dead
Commander fans, do yourselves a favor and search for and listen to an extended live version of Hot Rod Lincoln from Seeds and Stems! I found it on Tidal. You won’t regret it 😎
RIP Commander Cody!  

Saw them several times.  

And saw Bill Kirchen many many times.

Bill built quite a career with his own band after playing with Cody for many years.

I once got to see Bill do Hot Rod Lincoln with Junior Brown live!!  Truly rockin'

Hot Rod.....Lincoln indeed!
