Vintage Vinyl: Dickie Damron – ‘Rockin’ Baby/Gonna Have A Party’

Vintage Vinyl: Dickie Damron – ‘Rockin’ Baby/Gonna Have A Party’

May 23, 2013

As a record collector, one of the biggest thrills is digging for 45’s. It is a rich, diversified field of endless fascination, and there is always an audible gasp when you find an ultra rare single or “Holy Grail.” Dickie Damron’s 1958 debut single “Rockin’ Baby” with “Gonna Have A Party” on the flip is considered a top three for rarity in Canadian first generation Rockabilly, and is truly a “Holy Grail.”

THE NEW DESIGN

The National Music Centre will not only be unique in Canada in terms of collections and programming, but will also provide Calgary – and Canada – with another architectural landmark. Designed to be an iconic piece of architecture, the National Music Centre will draw not only music lovers but also design buffs from around the world.

The King Eddy

With a history of bringing people together under the banner of music, this former "home of the blues" was a natural choice for the site of NMC.

The Process

An international call, 66 respondents, 5 finalists and a showdown at the Grand Theatre made for an exciting architectural competition for NMC.

The Team

With Allied Works Architects at the design table, CANA constructing, Haley Sharpe designing exhibits and great internal project staff, the NMC team is building the future.
