“Snap-Jack” Shoes—Rico Flashback’s (a.k.a. John Morgan’s) Favorite!!
Attention all you “Cool Cats” out there…remember these? These “Snap Jack” shoes, also know as “Mouse Trap” shoes because of their Shu-Lock mechanism, were all the rage during the 50’s and 60’s with the Rockabilly circle; including Elvis, Carl Perkins and Gene Vincent! And of course today still worn by our one and only Rico Fashback (a.k.a. John Morgan). They have tried to copy them in Japan but the originals still remain King….are very rare and worth big bucks….check your closets and yardsales! I bought my first pair at Thom McAnn’s in Quincy SQ. but sadly lost them over the years! I’d like to thank Michael Y. for sharing these very rare advertising images!….HH Parrot
Rare Find–John Morgan’s “Live” LP Album—Autographed!
OK all you John Morgan fans….how many of you remember or have seen this gem…I’d guess this is circa 1968 and believe this was John’s only “live” musical release. And this may also be one of the few still “above water”…let me explain. I can recall vividly down at The Sandy Pond Club on the Cape, one summer many moons ago during Happy Hour breaks, John held contests to see who could “skip/skim” his albums the furthest across the pond! So, I thought we’d have to use scuba gear to find any but thanks to this album’s long time owner, Charlie F. from Randolph sharing with us…we know at least one survived! The songs are wonderful…bringing us back to a much “kinder-gentler” time! ….HH Parrot
