"He's got all the moves and the shakes," Mr. Pigat says admiringly of Mr. Dalziel's contributions. "He's a great singer and I've never met a man more enthusiastic about rockabilly in my life. He's the real deal."


The trio's first CD was "Cousin Harley and the Piglets", followed by a second disc "Jukin'", released in 2003 and offering a Turland original, six Pigat originals and nine scorching covers.


The Ship Point show offers a typical Cousin Harley set. The open with "Walk Don't Run", an instrumental that has the tarmac of the parking lot covered with dancers. Then come tunes from Elvis ("Rockahula" from "Blue Hawaii"), Carl Perkins ("Honey Don't") and Merle Travis ("Divorce Me C.O.D."). The trio has a weakness for Mr. Travis. "Here's the worst love song ever written" Mr. Pigat announces before launching into a spirited rendition of "Fat Gal": "Warm in the winter, shady in the summertime, that's why I love that big fat gal o' mine!"


The boys close their hour with a number to be included on their coming CD. "We can't tell you the title because this is a family show," Mr. Pigat warns the audience before they lauch into an instrumental. After the set, No. 1 fan asks the title.


"Get that Bastard," Mr. Pigat replies. Those within earshot look disappointed, as though hoping for something more risque.
