Let's Go Trippin' Dick Dale and his Del-Tones 1961

 Here. Tom Hanks stressed that it isn't that kind of tripping.

"Let's Go Trippin'" is an instrumental by Dick Dale and The Del-Tones. It is often regarded as the first surf rock instrumental and is credited for launching the surf music craze.^[1] First played in public in 1960 at the Rendezvous Ballroom in Balboa Peninsula, Newport Beach, California, it reached number 4 on the Los Angeles station KFWB, and later peaked at number 60 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Bus on Wells Hill Radstock early 1900s

 I run a Facebook group Old Radstock and I posted this pic and got this reply by John Hitchings

"This is one of many publicity photographs taken for Bath Tramways who were experimenting with the use of newfangled motor buses to feed their tram system.

The bus is a 25hp Milnes-Daimler delivered to Bath Tramways in September 1905 and the photo would date to around that time.

The bus service between Midsomer Norton, Radstock and Glasshouse wouldn’t start for another couple of years."

This is the same type of bus. He says 

 "One of the original six Milnes-Daimlers bought by the company in 1905."

Henry Thomas Bull Doze Blues 1928

 Here. Formed the basis of Canned Heat's Going Up the Country. Henry Thomas

Henry Thomas ('Ragtime Texas'), who was born in Big Sandy (TX) in 1874, was one of the oldest African American musicians to record for the phonograph companies in the late 1920s. With a repertoire of rags, minstrel, dance and folk tunes, he was more of a 'songster' than a bluesman. Thomas' BULL DOZE BLUES (Vocalion 1239), recorded in June 1928, is also notable in that the singer, in addition to the guitar, also accompanies himself on the quills (traditionally made of cut Southern Cane tubes), which are very rare in African American music. Easy to hear that Thomas' record was also the blueprint for Canned Heat's 'Going Up the Country', which was released 40 years later with altered lyrics. According to music experts like Prof. David Evans it is very likely that the street musician who appears in a short sequence at Maxwell Street Market in Heinrich Hauser's film 'Chicago. Weltstadt in Flegeljahren' (1931), is Henry Thomas. The people in the background are probably the protagonists of a medicine show.
