Skip Wallin is a long time fan of good old time RocknRoll and he contributed these great shots of a wonderful day celebrating the music of Sonny Burgess and Billy Lee Riley at their home town celebration "Depot Days" in Newport, Arkansas. The Bel Airs were fantastic backing both music legends with expertise. Many thanks to Henry Boyce who's brain child this celebration is.
