As far as I remember, when BH and The Crickets visited the UK in the late 50s some really switched-on promoter lined up Dennis Compton and Godfrey Evans, both equally bemused, to meet them at Southampton docks, or Heathrow, I can't remember which. No record of the resulting conversation survives. A pity.
(Hope you don't mind me dropping in. Our paths cross occasionally in the Rose garden.)
Christopher - Tex Mex meets MCC?! Lots in common I'm sure. You're more than welcome. I actually posted this out of sympathy with Rosie's sartorial discomfiture.
Rog - this was the era of the Goon Show, don't forget.
Oh Tim memories memories , I belonged to the fan club of the show 'Buddy' and had some fantastic times going to London and met the Crickets once there . Love Buddy music amongst lots of others - never tire of it !!! Thank you Valerie
Great song.
