Whereas Red and John certainly feature in many of these videos I consider that a better demonstration is provided by an earlier broadcast
CBC Archives Music Hop 1963 at:-

after school rock show for teenagers hosted by Alex Trebek with pianist Norm Amadio and his Rhythm Rockers, and The Girlfriends (Stephanie Taylor, Rhonda Silver and Diane Miller). Guests are Lynda Layne, Bobby Dow, and American singer Van Trevor. Members of the Rhythm Rockers are Red Shea (guitar); Don (D.T.) Thompson (tenor saxophone); Alex Lazaroff (drums); John Stockfish (bass).
The first performance shows a singer from New York doing an impression of a Cliff Richard song backed by the Rhythm Rockers aping the Shadows with Red doing a rather restrained impression sans the Holly style glasses of Hank B Marvin and at 7:15 Alex introduces Red Shea on a spirited rendition of Lonnie Mack's Memphis, apparently a major instrumental hit in 1963, a fact that has passed me by (it was the year when I was busy doing my final University studying and then busy settling back in at Rolls Royce in Derby (that's Darr-by not Derr-by by the way England)
