Q: “What did you record with Bill Wyman last month?” george_harrison_live: “:) An old Ketty Lester song called ‘Love Letters’” - Yahoo web chat (February 15, 2001) “George played on one of the Rhythm Kings albums just before he died [2001’s Double Bill]. I phoned him up and said: ‘Can you do a guitar part on this track?’ He went: ‘What are you calling me up for? You’ve got two of the best guitarists in the world in your band — Albert Lee and Martin Taylor. What do you want me for? I only play one note.’ And I said to him: ‘George, that’s the note I want.’ So he said: ‘Alright then. Send me the tape.’ Which I did. And his guitar part was great. Afterwards he wrote me a lovely letter, after I’d sent him a present of the [artist] Marc Chagall book I did [Chagall’s World, with photographs by Wyman], thanking me for asking him to do it. He signed it ‘Bert Weedon.’” - Bill Wyman, Classic Rock (September 2009) “George ended up as my best man and he certainly was an’ all. He was a wonderful friend and I miss him every day. I don’t seem to be able to think about him in the past tense, I always figure he’s still around.” - Joe Brown, Express (October 2016)

Some of you may recognize Duane Eddy’s version of this song on our affiliate station Empire Central Radio.
Though an instrumental, the title apparently originates from a rather glib remark.
This time, Duane Eddy returns the compliment on the back cover LP saying, “Bert is a great guitar man”.
Listen to the flip side “Rockin’ at the Roundhouse” here.

We're in an instrumental mood, it seems, this summer. Not that I'm complaining, this week. Because the instrumental we've got here couldn't be more different from those of Russ Conway and his ilk. Plus, it's an instrumental with pedigree!

El gran guitarrista británico Bert Weedon, uno de los verdaderos astros de la guitarra en la Inglaterra rock and roll pre beatle, consiguió colocar en listas ocho temas entre 1959 y 1961. Uno de ellos fue su composición "Sorry Robbie", que llevaba de cara B una magnífica versión de "Easy Beat" de John Barry. Su primer y mayor éxito había sido un año antes "Guitar Boogie Shuffle".
Herbert Maurice William Weedon comenzó a aprender guitarra clásica a los 12 años y decidió convertirse en músico profesional. En los años 30 dirigió grupos como Blue Cumberland Rhythm Boys y Bert Weedon and His Harlem Hotshots y trabajó con artistas como Stéphane Grappelli y George Shearing. También puso su guitarra al servicio de grandes bandas y orquestas como las de Ted Heath y Mantovani. En los 50 empezó a aparecer como solista y trabajó como músico de sesión en muchos de los primeros discos del rock and roll autóctono británico, entre otros singles de Adam Faith, Billy Fury y Tommy Steele, y actuó con Frank Sinatra, Judy Garland y Nat King Cole en sus visitas a UK.
De entre los muchísimos fans y admiradores confesos de Bert Weedon cito sólo unos cuantos: Hank Marvin, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, John Lennon, Eric Clapton, Pete Townshend, Keith Richards, Jimmy Page, Mike Oldfield, Brian May, Mark Knopfler, Sting, Robert Smith. ¿Alguien da más?
I've tried both.
