R.I.P. Lorrie Collins


Recommended Posts

One of the Collins Kids (along with her brother Larry), who figured into the advent of West Coast rockabilly. Dated Ricky Nelson at one time. Passed away on 4 AUG at the age of 76.

The timing of her passing is ironic, on accounta her Martin guitar with an early Mosrite neck is featured in the new issue of Vintage Guitar Magazine. There's a hole worn in the top of the instrument, a la Willie Nelson's "Trigger", which validates how energetic her playing was.

Worked with Larry a few years back, hung out with Lorrie numerous times.  Both fantastic people, and true trailblazers.
