LP version now available!!
Deke’s first long-player with the Whippersnappers is chock full of great new songs: lots of wild rockabilly, great 1950s-style country numbers, and dramatic Western numbers. Two of the group’s biggest numbers from their first EP are included as well: “Here Kitty Kitty” and “Wild Wild Thing.”
The long-playing vinyl version is now available! 16 tracks! Heavy cardboard “old school” album cover! Mastered by Deke on his 1940 Scully record lathe! On a first-come, first-served basis, buyers through dekedickerson.com will receive a limited edition (one of 300) RED VINYL version of the album!

Musings
Articles and thoughts from the mind of Deke
Joe Cihla and the Speakatar
A couple years ago, I stumbled on a 1958 newspaper article describing a Cedar Rapids hillbilly performer named Joe Cihla and his new invention: the Speakatar.
“Little” Jimmy Dickens and the Great Gino (Gene) King
Here’s your guitar rabbit hole for the day! I was going through some old CD-Rs yesterday and found this great photo of “Little” Jimmy Dickens on stage in the early 1960s…
Lou Lou’s Jungle Room at the Historic Lafayette Hotel
This place is absolutely incredible. The hotel was built in 1946 and they did a restoration on it that is one of the best I’ve ever seen.
