The National Museum of American History recently announced that Grammy Award-winning musician Brian Setzer is donating a replica of his original 1959 Gretsch guitar to the museum. Setzer is known for reviving the 1950s rockabilly style with his 1980s group the Stray Cats, and later for his revival band The Brian Setzer Orchestra. For an example of rockabilly in the Folkways collection, hear Beverly Greenfield play “Rodeo Weddings and Rockabilly Lives” from the 1992 collection “Fast Folk Musical Magazine (Vol. 5, No. 9) Live at the Postcrypt - Columbia University.”
