It was banned because old people heard it, and it had the same effect on them as it did the kids. It works today, and will work 500 years from now.

There's no source because it was never banned. It's just hearsay, It reached #16 on Billboard's hot 100. That's a monster hit. Dick Clark played it daily on American Bandstand for weeks, Link even made an appearance on Dick Clark's Saturday evening show and played it to a national audience. So the ban is just urban legend.

That's because Vernon Wray was still recording with an upright bass at this time. He later switched to the electric bass due to the size of the studio they were recording in (which was a converted chicken coop.) There was just no space for a doghouse bass.

Was lucky enough to see Link play at some dive bar in DC back in the early 60's, with his drummer and bass. Put on quite a show for me, my friend, and about 15 other people in the bar.

Yup. Incredible. Guess it says more about R&RHoF than Link Wray & those who shouldn't be there but is. He invented, or at least popularized the power chord. Shouldn't that be enough? Odd that he died in Copenhagen, Denmark and is buried there, in a crypt. He relocated to Denmark in the early 80s. Wonder what ties he had to Denmark? (which borders Sweden where I live, northern Europe). Maybe no especial ties at all, maybe only love the country...and sure, it's a nice place. Been there many times myself. Most people are easy going.
