An old one. In the mid-70’s, I was friendly with An old one. In the mid-70’s, I was friendly with a songwriter - Bobby Russell (Little Green Apples) - and when he decided to try marriage again, he asked his writing partner of the moment to host the really small ceremony. This was Burt Bacharach, at the beach home in DelMar that he shared with the lovely Angie Dickinson and their young daughter. Burt was a tad standoffish but she was warm and welcoming. And beautiful. #angiedickinson #angiedickensonactress #burtbacharach #bobbyrussell #littlegreenapples
1963. June. Prom Night. Rented that car, thought i 1963. June. Prom Night. Rented that car, thought it was pretty damn fancy but looks rather ordinary in this photograph my mother made. Kennedy came to our party, big mix-up while he was here visiting Marilyn. It’s a long story. How geeky is this? #promnights #the60s #geekinesscelebrated

I’m reading a very good biography at the moment I’m reading a very good biography at the moment - ‘Buddy Holly’ written by Ellis Amburn in the mid- 90’s. The birth and the first few years of rock n' roll is deftly laid out, with Buddy and the Crickets in the lead. In the 1970’s, I had the good fortune to be acquainted with three of the Crickets: Jerry Allison (drums), Joe B. Maudlin (bass) and Sonny (I Fought the Law) Curtis (guitar) when all three lived for a while in Los Angeles. Sonny was not a part of the ‘discovered' Crickets when Buddy was alive, having taken a gig on the road with Slim Whitman just prior to “That’ll Be the Day’ landing them very much on the world stage. But, he lent his considerable guitar chops on several of Holly’s hit releases and after Buddy’s accident, toured with JI in the 2nd iteration of The Crickets. Allison (aka JI) is pictured here, circa 1972, in my first little studio, in Burbank. Auburn quotes both of them profusely and lays out how JI’s innovative drumming was integral to the sound that captivated the music world back in the late 50’s, not to mention influencing and sparking a tidal wave of musical artists soon to appear.
Sonny taught me a little guitar, made us laugh a lot; glad I knew them.
PS:  And, JI always insisted on beating my brains out whenever I was foolish enough to take him on in a game of Gin Rummy...#buddyholly #jerryallison #Sonnycurtis #ifoughtthelaw #peggysue #thatllbetheday #crickets #thecrickets #Lubbock #lubbocktx
