... ya think? Today in rock history, in 1959, Sandy Nelson hits #4 with "Teen Beat." Born in 1938, Sandy was also a session drummer and hung out with Jan and Dean in high school. He had a severe motorcycle accident in 1963 where he lost his right foot and part of his right leg, but he kept right on drumming, releasing 2-3 albums a year through the '70's. He now lives in Boulder City, Nevada and continues to experiment with music on keyboards and piano, and released an album in 2008. Thanks to http://rockhall.com/story-of-rock/today-in-rock and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandy_Nelson for the info, and let's check out "Teen Beat" one more time - keep on beatin' those skins!
