As a native North Carolinian (and part Native American), it would be very cool if Dunn could honor Link Wray with a statue, mural, museum, etc. North Carolinians should take pride and celebrate his life and accomplishments especially the profound impact he had on rock'n'roll.

I saw Link Wray open for the James Gang in 1974 at the Sacramento Memorial Auditorium. I had never heard such an onslaught of raw distortion when he launched into Rumble. I love Joe Walsh, but Link's guitar was danger, violence, cool and black leather rock and roll in spades. It was historic. My kids have NEVER witnessed such a real deal spectacle. WOW!

I first took note of Link Wray when he played with Robert Gordon in the 70’s and got hit imideately. He was raw in the best possible way. Unfortunately i’ve never heard or saw him in concerts, although I saw him a couple of times in the audience at the Glam Rock Festival in Esbjerg, Denmark. I recognized him at once, but didn’t dare go for an autograph. 😂 It really was my plan to bring the Bullshot album cover the following years, as i used to see him sitting in the grass and enjoying the music.

Dunn is on my way. 1959 kicked out of the Pier Club for Dirty Dancing to the music of - yep, I am so proud - Link Wray. Then, there he was in The Rocket Room. In 1963 I hired the band for a party in Georgetown. I thought he was from Port Tobacco, but I guess that is the three track shack in the film. One of my all time favorites. Thanks for the post. I thought he had written Apache. He was working the lever

We played the LP to death and i still never tire of it. I have now collected loads of his recordings, and he has also been the key to me hearing and appreciating other music. Check out 'The sky is falling ' on the album 'Bullshot',..to this day i have heard nothing better. Great documentary and much appreciated.

Didn’t knew anything about him before that. And I’m so happy that I found him. I have his two vinyl albums for about 7 years, but I still didn’t open them, keep them to some special moment maybe. there is something special about him, something mystical..

I have been a Link Wray fan for years. I have his original Lp on Epic as well as a perfect copy of the 45 rpm on Cadence of Rumble. His daughter Beth Wray Webb has a facebook page. Btw he originally wanted to call Rumble Oddball.
