His goofy (my dad's word) nephew would join in the band now and then ... before growing a career of his own: Glenn Campbell.<br />Still recall their signature jingle --... riding down the trail to Albuquerque, saddlebags all filled with beans and jerky ....<br />(dang, stop me now - lol!)<br /><br />Mevely317https://www.blogger.com/profile/14786988262452989091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-25342457516059160142013-12-02T21:33:35.478-05:002013-12-02T21:33:35.478-05:00If we had any local heroes, I don't remember, ...If we had any local heroes, I don't remember, but I enjoyed reading about yours, Jack.

Buddy Holly<br />was a favorite. I also like Tommy<br />Faile he was best singer on the show. Jack I had forgotten about<br />playing the accordion.

At that time in Texas each county to vote precinct by precinct whether or not to sell alcohol. In Lubbock County, there was only one "wet" precinct. So all the liquor stores and clubs were on one road in that precinct. It was called "the Strip". One of the clubs was The Cotton Club and that's where Buddy Holly got his start.<br /><br />«Louis'» parents were friends of a couple, J.D. and Gladys Leftwich. The Leftwiches owned several lumber yards across the Texas Panhandle. J.D. liked to fly to his stores rather than drive, so he had (and could afford) a private plane. It was his pilot that was flying the plane that crashed with Buddy Holly on it.Louis la Vachehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09039777863022193315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-8616287562731116202013-12-02T07:53:48.943-05:002013-12-02T07:53:48.943-05:00We too had our local TV stars but my memories are ...We too had our local TV stars but my memories are not as sharp as yours.
