Cut, Color And Roll ...

“ … Well I said shake, rattle and roll

I said shake, rattle and roll …”

                        “Shake, Rattle and Roll”

                      ~ written in 1954 by Jesse Stone (1901-1999) under his assumed songwriting name Charles E. Calhoun

          ~ recorded by the great Elvis Presley

                             ~1956

Strolling through Belvidere, New Jersey on a rare warm February afternoon, I came across this cool sign for Dee’s Doos Hair Salon. Elvis Presley sang about “Shake, Rattle and Roll,” but at Dee’s I believe the slogan would be “Cut, Color and Roll!”

Belvidere, one of my very favorite places, is a charming Victorian town located on the banks of the Pequest and Delaware Rivers.
