COMPUTER CRASH WREAKS HAVOC ON ROCK-IT

It's been an expensive week here at the Rock-it Radio studios. Year's ago where the Rock-it Radio studio is we used to be in and surrounded by citrus orchards -- Mostly Lemons. 2 years ago the last large orchard went out and with it all the animals living in that orchard - namely rats, possums and raccoons have made their way to our home. The rats have proven the largest problem as we have fruit trees ourselves.
Well last Monday January 26th a rat found it's way somehow behind
our electrical breaker box in our backyard got behind it somehow and
though he fried himself he also shorted out 1/2 of our electrical outlets
to the studio, livingroom and back bedroom. An electrician was immediately
called and for $900.00 was able to fix everything. But it also blew out the computer. We called a local repair company that said there was nothing they could do but to buy a new computer. So, Wednesday we went to the local computer supermarket here and everything now is in Windows Vista. Well, the salesman assured me that all the software I had on our old Windows XP program will work on Vista. Got home hooked up the new computer and guess what? -- The old software like the Real Media producer
to bring you the Rock-it Radio shows, along with several other outdated software we use wouldn't work. Just not recognizable by the new windows vista programming.
So, we take the new computer back, which they did so with no problem (got to give that much to them). And contacted Ventura County Computers. They said bring in the fried computer harddrive and they will take a look at it.
They had a very nice 1 year machine there for sale and was able to retrieve everything off of that old hard drive and put it in the refurbished computer that runs on Windows XP. So, we were saved!!! We got the new system finally up and running the way it should be by Saturday morning and here we are doing
the newsletter. Unfortunately, by being down most of the week we haven't had a chance to get as many shows as we would of liked to this week. But we will be playing catch up this next week for sure! Along with the continuation of Al 'Cool Daddy's' Smiths shows of the tribute to the day the music died.

SPECIAL -- THE DAY THE MUSIC DIED
BY: ROBERT BENSON

The Day The Music Died
The day is immortalized in the legendary Don McLean song
"American Pie." It was a day that saddened music lovers all
over the world and shocked the music industry. It was the day the
music died.
We are of course referring to the plane crash in Clear Lake, Iowa,
that claimed the lives of rock and roll musicians Buddy Holly,
Ritchie Valens, and J.P. "The Big Bopper" Richardson.
The crash, which occurred on February 3, 1959, is now fifty years old.
Let's explore some of the details of "the day the music died."
The Winter Dance Party began at the Eagles Club in Milwaukee,
Wisconsin on January 23, 1959. It featured the aforementioned stars,
Dion Deuce as well as an aspiring teen idol named Frankie Sardou.
The tour was set to cover twenty-four Midwestern cities in a span of
three weeks. The tour was a logistical nightmare with the amount of
travel that was required. Adding to this problem was a tour bus that
was ill-equipped to deal with the weather conditions in that part of the
country; its heating system broke down shortly after the tour began.
In fact, one musician, drummer Carl Bunch, developed a severe case
of frostbite to his feet that required hospitalization (Holly and Valens
took turns on the drums). It got so cold on the bus that the musicians
started burning newspapers in the aisle in a desperate attempt to keep warm.
What's interesting is that the Surf Ballroom in Clear Lake was not
intended to be a stop on the tour, but the promoters, hoping to fill an
open date, contacted the manager of the establishment and offered
him the show. He accepted and the date was set for February 2nd.
However, Holly was so frustrated and tired of the malfunctioning tour
bus that he told his fellow musicians that, once the show was over,
they should attempt to charter a plane to get to the next stop on the
tour; which was Moorhead, Minnesota. So flight arrangements were
made with Roger Peterson, who was a local pilot employed at Dwyer
Flying Service, based in Mason City, Iowa. The fee was $36 per
passenger and the single-engine plane could seat three musicians in
addition to the pilot.
But there was a dilemma, who would fly and who would get to the
next destination via the tour bus? Obviously, Holly and the pilot were
aboard which left two seats open. Dion was approached to buy a seat, but he thought that the price of $36 was way too much.
He recalled his parents arguing about the rent, which coincidently
was $36 per month and he could not bring himself to pay an entire
month's rent for a short plane ride.
J.P. Richardson had come down with a bout of the flu and asked one
of Holly's band mates, Waylon Jennings, for his seat on the plane
and Jennings gave up his seat. Ritchie Valens, who was also feeling
the effects of the freezing tour bus, asked Holly's other band mate
Tommy Allsup for his seat. Allsup replied that he would flip a coin,
with the winner getting the last seat on the plane. Now, contrary to
what has been depicted in the biographical movies, the coin toss was
not done by Holly; nor did it occur at the airport. The coin toss occurred
at the Ballroom shortly before they departed for the airport and was
actually done by a DJ who was working the concert that night.
The plane took off at 1 a.m. on February 3, 1959 from Mason City
Municipal Airport. Approximately 1:05 a.m., Jerry Dwyer, owner of Dwyer Flying Service could see the lights of the plane start to descend from the sky to the ground. The pilot was supposed to file his flight plan once airborne, but he never contacted the tower. By 3:30 a.m., after multiple attempts to contact his pilot and the fact that the airport in Fargo, Minnesota had not heard from Peterson, Dwyer contacted the authorities to report the plane missing.
The doomed aircraft had just made it a few miles from the airport. The pilot (who was not certified to fly at night) may have been confused by the darkness and the light snow that was falling. The plane hit the ground nose first at an estimated 150mph killing all four men instantly.

50 Winters Later Concert Set for Clear Lake, Iowa

On February 2, 1959, the three stars played their last show at the Surf
Ballroom in Clear Lake, Iowa. Later, they boarded a plane for North
Dakota which crashed shortly after takeoff. While not an event for
celebration, it is one that is traditionally recognized as a turning point
in rock music history.
That same Surf Ballroom and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame have
joined together to commemorate the fiftieth anniversary of the Winter
Dance Party with a week long series of events starting on Wednesday,
January 28 and ending with a major tribute concert on Monday,
February 2. During the week, there will be educational programs,
symposiums and a record and memorabilia show, but the real events
happen in the evening with nightly concerts from some early pioneers
of rock music.
"50 Winters Later is about the music and the legacy of Buddy, Ritchie,
and The Bopper. The artists who will participate in the week's events
will pay homage to these three stars that influenced music so deeply
that musicians and songwriters continue to this day to be inspired
and attribute aspects of their musical careers to them. It's going to be
an extraordinary show - to be in the Surf where these pioneers played
live decades ago is magical in itself," stated Shane Cooney,
entertainment director for the Surf Ballroom.
"For one week we will focus on the extraordinary lives and legacies of
three men who forever left their mark on rock and roll history and
American society," said Terry Stewart, president and CEO of the Rock
and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum. "It will be a poignant and memorable
experience honoring this pivotal watershed cultural event."
Here are the lineups for each of the shows:
Wednesday, January 28 (Sock Hop)

Tidbits:

In 1976, when the first Buddy Holly Week was held, Paul McCartney
was presented with the cuff links Buddy Holly wore the night of the crash.
McCartney purchased the rights to Holly's song publishing and began
organizing the annual celebration five years later.
On February 29, 1980, an old police file containing Buddy Holly's horn
rimmed glasses and a watch owned by J. P. Richardson were located by the Mason City Sheriff. The items were recovered at the crash site.
In the 2000 film Almost Famous, the band's plane is caught in bad weather, at which point one of the band members begins to sing the Buddy Holly song "Peggy Sue."
Deciding that the show must go on at the next stop, Moorhead, MN,
they looked for local talent to fill in. Just across the state line from
Moorhead, in Fargo ND, they found a 15 year old talent named Bobby Vee.
The crash that ended the lives of Holly, Valens, and Richardson was the
break that began the career of Vee.
Tommy Allsup would one day open a club named "The Head's Up Saloon," a tribute to the coin toss that saved his life.
Waylon Jennings would become a hugely popular Country singer.
Dion DiMucci would enjoy a long lived solo career.
Inscribed on Ritchie Valens' grave are the words, "Come On, Let's Go."

Ritchie Valens:

Valens was a pioneer of Chicano rock, Latin rock and was an inspiration to many musicians of Latino heritage. He influenced the likes of Los Lobos, Los Lonely Boys, and Carlos Santana among countless others at a time when there were very few Latinos in American rock and pop music. He is considered the first Latino to ever successfully cross over into Rock mainstream.
"La Bamba" would prove to be his most influential recording; not only
by becoming a pop chart hit sung entirely in Spanish but also because
of its successful blending of traditional Latin American music with rock.
He was a pioneer and was an inspiration for many after his tragic death. Valens was the first to capitalize on this formula which would later be adopted by such varied artists as Selena, Caifanes, Cafe Tacuba, Circo, El Gran Silencio, Aterciopelados, Gustavo Santaolalla, and many others in the Latin Alternative scene. Ironically, the Valenzuela family spoke only English at home, and Ritchie knew very little Spanish. Ritchie learned the lyrics of "La Bamba" phonetically in order to record the song in Spanish.
"Come on Let's Go" has been covered by Los Lobos, The Ramones and "The Paley Brothers"; (jointly, The Ramones on guitar, bass, and drums and The Paley Brothers on vocals), Tommy Steele, The Huntingtons and The McCoys.
"Donna" has been covered by artists as diverse as MxPx, Cliff Richard, The Youngbloods, Clem Snide, Cappadonna, and The Misfits among many others.
Robert Quine has cited Valens' guitar playing as an early influence on his style.
Donna Ludwig, Ritchie's girlfriend, is today still recognized as "Ritchie's
Donna." Her personalized license plate reads "ODONNA."
Ritchie's nephew, Ernie Valens, has toured worldwide playing his uncle's songs, including a new version of the "Winter Dance Party" tour with Buddy Holly impersonator John Mueller. This tour has taken place at many of the original 1959 venues in the Midwest.
Valens also appeared in biopic films. Valens was depicted in the 1987
biopic film La Bamba, which was about his life. The film's time period
was from 1957 to 1959, in which his age was 16 to 17. It introduced
Lou Diamond Phillips as Valens and co-starred Esai Morales as his
older half-brother, Bob Morales. Los Lobos performed most of the
music in the film.
Valens was portrayed by Gilbert Melgar in the final scene of The
Buddy Holly Story and Valens will also be depicted in the upcoming
2009 film The Day the Music Died. Valens will be portrayed by
Joseph Thornhillas in the 2009 film Lives and Deaths of the Poet.

Big Bopper:

Richardson's son, Jay Richardson, took up a musical career and
is known professionally as "The Big Bopper, Jr." He has performed
all around the world. Notably, he has toured on the "Winter Dance
Party" tour with Buddy Holly impersonator John Mueller on some
of the same stages as his father performed.
In January 2007, Richardson's son Jay requested that his father's
body be exhumed and an autopsy be performed to settle the rumors
that a gun was fired or that Richardson initially survived the crash.
The autopsy was performed by Dr. Bill Bass, a forensic anthropologist
at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. Jay was present with
Dr. Bass throughout the entire autopsy and observed as the
casket was opened; both men were surprised to find the remains
well enough preserved to be recognizable as those of the late rock
star. "Dad still amazes me 48 years after his death, that he was in
remarkable shape," Richardson told the Associated Press.
"I surprised myself. I handled it better than I thought I would."
Dr. Bass' findings indicated there were no signs of foul play.
He was quoted as saying "There are fractures from head to
toe. Massive fractures. ... (Richardson) died immediately.
He didn't crawl away. He didn't walk away from the plane."
After the autopsy, Richardson's body was placed in a new
casket made by the same company as the original, then was
reburied next to his wife in Beaumont's Forest Lawn Cemetery.
Jay then allowed the old casket to be put on display at the
Texas Musician's Museum.
In December 2008, Jay Richardson announced that he would be
placing the old casket up for auction on eBay. The Texas
Musician's Museum will receive a share of the profits.

Buddy Holly:

Contrary to popular belief, teenagers John Lennon and Paul McCartney did not attend a Holly concert, although they watched his TV appearance on "Sunday Night at the London Palladium"; Tony Bramwell, a school friend of McCartney and George Harrison, did. Keith Richards attended one of the gigs, where he heard "Not Fade Away" for the first time. Bramwell met Holly, and freely shared his records
with all three. Lennon and McCartney later cited Holly as a primary
influence. (Their band's name, The Beatles, was chosen partly in
homage to Holly's Crickets.) The Beatles did a cover version of
"Words of Love" that was a close reproduction of Holly's version.
McCartney owns the publishing rights to Holly's song catalogue.
A young Bob Dylan attended the January 31, 1959 show, two nights
before Holly's death. Dylan referred to this in his 1998 Grammy
acceptance speech for his 1997 Time out of Mind winning Album of
the Year.
Various rock and roll histories have asserted that the singing group
The Hollies were named in homage to Buddy Holly. According to the
band's website, although the group admired Holly (and years later
produced an album covering some of his songs), their name was inspired primarily by the sprigs of holly in evidence around Christmas of 1962.
After the death of Buddy he would leave a trail of followers from
Bob Dylan, to Elvis Costello, Paul Simon, and The Beatles. Also,
one of The Rolling Stones early hits was a cover of "Not Fade Away."
Eddie Cochran, good friend and fellow rock 'n' roll pioneer was so
distraught by the deaths of Holly, Valens, and The Big Bopper that
he recorded the song "Three Stars" as a tribute. The song was not
released until after Cochran's own premature death, because he was
too upset to allow it to be issued in his lifetime.
The Smithereens' song "Maria Elena" is a Buddy Holly tribute as sung
to his widow.
Blink-182 has a song named "Peggy Sue" which is a tribute to Holly.
Phil Ochs famously sang a long tribute to Buddy Holly on the infamous Gunfight at Carnegie Hall album.
Mike Berry released a 1961 single called "Tribute to Buddy Holly."
It was written by Geoff Goddard and produced by Joe Meek, who
was a great Buddy Holly fan. In the USA, it was released on Coral,
Buddy Holly's label.
Weezer's self-titled debut album features the band's popular single
"Buddy Holly."
Musician Albert Hammond, Jr. has a cover of "Well... Alright" on
his 2007 album Yours To Keep.
Run-DMC's music video for the song "King of Rock" has an extended
video on Buddy Holly performing on The Ed Sullivan Show
Don McLean's popular 1971 ballad "American Pie" is inspired by the
day of the plane crash. He has also covered "Everyday."

Buddy Holly Monument








THE ANNOTATED AMERICAN PIE
(What the song is talkin' about!)
By Rich Kulawiec

The entire song is a tribute to Buddy Holly and a commentary on how rock and roll changed in the years since his death. McLean seems to be lamenting the lack of "danceable" music in rock and roll and (in part) attributing that lack to the absence of Buddy Holly et. al. (Verse 1)
A long, long time ago...
"American Pie" reached #1 in the US in 1972, but the album containing it was released in 1971. Buddy Holly died in 1959.
I can still remember how That music used to make me smile.
And I knew if I had my chance,
That I could make those people dance,
And maybe they'd be happy for a while
One of early rock and roll's functions was to provide dance music for various social events. McLean recalls his desire to become a musician playing that sort of music.
But February made me shiver,
Buddy Holly died on February 3, 1959 in a plane crash in Iowa during
a snowstorm. The news came to most of the world on the morning of
February 3, which is why it's known as The Day The Music Died.
With every paper I'd deliver,
Don McLean's only job besides being a full-time singer-songwriter was
being a paperboy.
Bad news on the doorstep...
I couldn't take one more step.
I can't remember if I cried
When I read about his widowed bride
Holly's recent bride, Maria Elena, was pregnant when the crash took place;
she had a miscarriage shortly afterward.
But something touched me deep inside,
The day the music died.
The same plane crash that killed Buddy Holly also took the lives of Richie
Valens ("La Bamba") and The Big Bopper ("Chantilly Lace"). Since all three
were so prominent at the time, February 3, 1959 became known as
"The Day The Music dies".
So... (Refrain)
Bye bye Miss American Pie,
Miss American Pie *is* rock and roll music. Don McLean dated a Miss America
candidate during the pageant. (unconfirmed)
Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry
Them good ole boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
Singing "This'll be the day that I die,
This'll be the day that I die."
One of Holly's hits was "That'll be the Day"; the chorus contains the line
"That'll be the day that I die"

BIG BOPPER EXHUMED AND CASKET PUT UP FOR SALE.

With Cool Daddy's Al Smith's show and tribute this week to the
Big Bopper. This macabre story was found by a Rock-it Radio
listener and Lane Quigley forwarded it to us.

Macabre relic from '50s rock era to be sold on eBay
Big Bopper's casket to be auctioned to raise money for tribute to him.
ASSOCIATED PRESS

Monday, January 05, 2009

BEAUMONT — One of rock 'n' roll's most macabre historical artifacts
will go on the block when the family of the late 1950s pop star J.P.
"The Big Bopper" Richardson auctions his coffin on eBay sometime in
the next few weeks — almost 50 years after "the day the music died."

The Big Bopper's 16-gauge steel casket was exhumed in 2007 from
his grave at Forest Lawn Cemetery in Beaumont so it could be moved
to a more visible location with a life-size statue and historical marker.
The disinterment gave forensic experts a chance — with his family's
blessing — to examine the pop singer's remains, which had not received
an autopsy after his death in rock 'n' roll's first great tragedy.

On Feb. 3, 1959, Richardson died at age 28 in the crash of a small plane
in a field near Clear Lake, Iowa. The crash also killed rock stars Buddy
Holly and Ritchie Valens and sent a shock wave around the world.
The accident has since been immortalized as "the day the music died."

Richardson was buried a few days later in his Beaumont hometown
with great fanfare, including tributes from Elvis Presley and others.

Jay Richardson, the Bopper's son, plans to sell the coffin on eBay to
raise money for a musical show about his father and to keep the
Bopper's memory alive.

Born three months after the crash, Jay, who lives in Katy, saw his
father for the first time at his exhumation.

"Wouldn't it be wonderful to bring Dad back to life?" Jay, 49, said recently.
"I have no personal use for the casket," he said. "When you get down to it,
it is just a metal box. More important is what this particular metal box
represents.
"In another 200 years, will people care about rock 'n' roll?" Jay asked.
"Who knows? But why would I want to destroy it? Even though it was
Dad's resting place for 48 years, it's also a unique opportunity to learn
more about the early years of rock 'n' roll."

Inside the coffin, forensic examiners found the Big Bopper's well-preserved
corpse, dressed in a black suit and a blue-and-gray striped tie. He wore
socks but no shoes. His thick brown hair was still perfectly coiffed in his
1950s flat-top.

The 2007 autopsy found that the Bopper had died of crash-related injuries.
He was reburied in a sleek new coffin donated by the Batesville Casket Co.,
which made the original. The old casket has been at the Texas Musicians
Museum in Hillsboro.

UPCOMING MOVIE - 'AIRPLAY' MAY PROVE OF INTEREST
TO OLDIES MUSIC LOVERS.

Lane Quigley has also sent in a video clip of a trailer
for a documentary called AIRPLAY, about the rise of rock
& roll radio in the 50's and underground FM radio in the 70's.
I don't know where or when this will be playing, but the trailer seems
interesting: If you would like to check it out -- the link is:

ROCK-IT RADIO LAUNCHING PAD RELEASES SHOWS OF
EMPEROR ROSKO.

This past week Rock-it Radio received a donation of 3 recordings of
famous UK Radio DJ - Emperor Rosko. U.S. born Emperor Rosko's
life in radio is quite fascinating and we thought we would share the article
on him from Wikipedia below.
'Mike Pasternak, better known by his stage name of Emperor Rosko
(born December 26, 1942) is a well known pop radio presenter, not to be confused
with American radio presenter William (Rosko) Mercer.

Born Michael Joseph Pasternak, he is the son of Hollywood film producer
Joe Pasternak. He was influenced in his career choice by KYA Radio Los Angeles
DJs Emperor Hudson and Wolfman Jack. Rosko's opportunity to broadcast came
whilst in the US Navy where he presented a show on an aircraft carrier. He then
went to Europe and hosted sponsored programmes in France and Belgium.

He joined Radio Caroline, a pirate radio station broadcasting from a ship off the
coast of England, in 1964. There, his pacey American style soon made Rosko
one of the station's best loved DJs. He then was heard on French language
stations Radio Monte Carlo and Radio Luxembourg.

As a disc jockey with BBC Radio 1 at its launch in 1967, Rosko initially recorded
shows in France for the Midday Spin programme. On his first Midday Spin show,
Rosko introduced himself like "I am the Emperor, the geeter with the heater, your
leader, your groovy host from the West coast, here to clear up your skin and mess
up your mind. It'll make you feel good all over." He highlighted the new Motown,
reggae, and rock music.

John Dunn, BBC news presenter who followed Rosko's show, must have had
some difficulty understanding Rosko's 'jive talk' when he announced "Now
here is the news - in English!"

Rosko moved to the UK in 1968, so was heard live on Radio 1. Along with
fellow DJ Dave Lee Travis he launched the first mobile discotheque,
the Rosko International Roadshow.

From 1970 he presented the Friday Roundtable where new records were
reviewed by a panel, and a Saturday lunchtime slot. He stayed with Radio 1
until September 1976, when he left for America to join his father, who was
suffering from Parkinson's disease.

When Rosko returned to Europe, he was heard via recorded shows on
Radio Luxembourg. In 1982 he returned to Radio 1 for a 13-week Sunday
series of shows, and continued to broadcast at weekends on Radio 1
during the Summer for four years. In 1992 he helped celebrate the
station's 25th birthday with a special broadcast, before joining
Virgin Radio 1215 in April 1993.

He has since been heard on the Classic Gold network and REM.FM,
his programme being pre-recorded in California.
Rosko also broadcasts a programme called "The LA Connection"
from his studios in California and can currently be heard across
Europe on several stations including Central FM in southern
Spain, and Radio Ayia Napa in Cyprus.

The three vintage broadcasts of Emperor Rosko are:

YOUR VINYL DESTINATION
WITH ROBERT BENSON

The Story of Mr. Custer- by Larry Verne
Played this week in Pete Chaston's Doo Wop Show.

Some musical acts are chosen for their uncanny musical talents,
either vocally or as an expert musician. But to be selected
because you spoke with a southern drawl is as unique as the
number one hit for Larry Verne in 1960, "Mr. Custer."
Let's explore the history of this quirky, novelty tune:
To explain the full story, we must travel back in time to Sunday,
June 25, 1876. In a historic battle at Little Big Horn, 700 US troops,
under the command of General George Custer, fought more than
3,000 Sioux Indians; who were loyal to Chief Sitting Bull. Ultimately, within half-an-hour of Custer's famous attack, he and all of his troops lay dead.
Fast-forward eighty-four years to October 10, 1960 and a kooky ditty about a soldier's comical plea to General Custer that he didn't want to fight, was the #1 hit on the Billboard charts.
This beloved classic was developed by three friends who worked in the music industry in Hollywood, California. The three, Fred Darian, Al DeLory and Joe Van Winkle were busy dubbing music at Gold Star Studios when DeLory came up with, "Mr. Custer, I don't want to go" and the line
"Forward, ho!" Someone else added the sound effect of an arrow piecing the air and as Fred Darian explained, "Mr. Custer was not a song you just sat down and wrote. It was a succession of incidents that brought it about; we just developed it as we went along."
The three writers first met at Coffee Dan's, which was a Hollywood hot spot that was near Wallich's Music City at Sunset and Vine. They formed a vocal group called the Balladeers and they rented a small office on Sunset. Across the hall was a photographer's office where Larry Verne worked developing pictures.
"We use to go to lunch together and we'd all kick different lines around and throw ideas back and forth," said Verne.
"They invited me to the recording studio where they were going to make a sample of the song," explained Verne. "But when we got there, they said, 'okay, Larry, you go in the booth and do it!' It was definitely a spur of the moment thing."
The song was in its infancy form until they coaxed Verne into the studio, where a two-hour session with a guitar, bass, drums, background vocals and background noises by all three songwriters.
"Everybody turned it down," recalled Van Winkle. "I mean everybody. I don't think we missed any of the majors or independent record companies.
Finally, Bob Keene of Del-Fi Records gave the trio a $300 advance so he could release the record. After it didn't get released, Darian called Keene and inquired as to when the song would be released.
The four-and-a-half minute track was not as funny as Keene first thought, so he didn't seem too interested in releasing the cut. In fact, the original dub was slowly wearing out, so they went back to Gold Star to produce another version. Luckily, the owner of Era Records was in the hallway listening and asked if they wanted him to release it. Ten months after the song was originally recorded, a shortened version of "Mr. Custer"
was released. Darian credits the late DJ Bob Crane with being the first to play the song on the radio.
All in all, "Mr. Custer" spent a total of thirteen weeks on the Billboard Top 100. A follow-up single (again written by Darian, DeLory and Van Winkle) did not fare so well, peaking at number seventy-five on the charts.
Larry Verne released one LP, and, other than doing some background vocals for a few years, quit the music business to work in motion pictures as a construction foreman and assistant set art director.

Mr. Custer Lyrics

(That famous day in history the men of the 7th Cavalry went riding on)
(And from the rear a voice was heard)
(A brave young man with a trembling word rang loud and clear)
What am I doin' here?

Please Mr. Custer, I don't wanna go
Hey, Mr. Custer, please don't make me go
I had a dream last night about the comin' fight
Somebody yelled "attack!"
And there I stood with a arrow in my back.

Please Mr. Custer, I don't wanna go (forward Ho! )--aaww

SPOKEN: Look at them bushes out there
They're moving and there's a injun behind every one
Hey, Mr. Custer-you mind if I be excused the rest of the afternoon?
HEY CHARLIE, DUCK YER HEAD!
Hmm, you're a little bit late on that one, Charlie
Hooh, I bet that smarts!

(They were sure of victory, the men of the 7th Cavalry, as they rode on)

(But then from the rear a voice was heard)
(That same brave voice with the trembling word rang loud and clear)
What am I doin' here?

Please Mr. Custer, I don't wanna go
Listen, Mr. Custer, please don't make me go
There's a redskin a'waitin' out there, just fixin to take my hair
A coward I've been called cuz I don't wanna wind up dead or bald

Please Mr. Custer, I don't wanna go (forward HO)--aaww

SPOKEN: I wonder what the injun word for friend is
Let's see-friend-- kemo sabe, that's it
KEMO SABE!, HEY OUT THERE-KEMO SABE!
Nope, that itn't it
Look at them durned injuns
They're runnin' around like a bunch of wild Indians-heh, heh, heh
Nah, this ain't no time for jokin'
