  • Jay Richardson Brushes Away Snow That's Drifted Around
    When popular Beaumont deejay J.P. Richardson died on Feb. 3, 1959, with Buddy Holly and Ritchie Valens, he left behind more than ‘Chantilly Lace’ … he left a briefcase of songs never sung, a widow, a daughter and unborn son, and a vision of a brave new rock world By RON FRANSCELL Feb. 3, 2005 CLEAR LAKE, IOWA –Jay Richardson brushes away snow that’s drifted around the corpse-cold granite monument outside the Surf ballroom, the last place his dead father ever sang a song. Four words are uncovered: Their music lives on. But it’s just a headstone homily in this place where they say the music died. A sharp wind slices off the lake under a steel-gray sky. It’s the dead of winter and almost nothing looks alive here. The ballroom – a rock ‘n’ roll shrine that might not even exist today except for three tragic deaths – is locked up for the weekend. Skeletal trees reach their bony fingers toward a low and frozen quilt of clouds. A tattered flag’s halyard thunks against its cold, hollow pole like a broken church bell. And not a word is spoken. Richardson bows his head, as if to pray. This is a holy place to him. “I wish I hadn’t done that,” he says after a moment. Is he still haunted by the plane crash that killed a father he never knew? Can a memory be a memory if it’s only a dream? Why does it hurt him to touch this stone? “Cuz now my damn hand is cold,” Richardson says, smiling against the wind.

    Congratulations and Best Wishes SMITHS BLUFF REFINERY 40th Anniversary Year I Foreword Dear Students, The old glass dome lamp was a famil­ iar sight at the time that the first PILOT was published. Many couples often strolled in a park and hesitated underneath the comfort of its glow. Just as the lamp sym­ bolizes a bygone era, the staff and I have labored to produce a yearbook which re­ flects the unprecedented events of the 1963- 1964 school year. Through the tragic and exhilarating, you, the students of Nederland High School, have alternately been saddened and thrilled. For many of you eniors, this is the culmination of your formal education; may your school years serve you well in your chosen career. For those who continue into college, you have a strong foundation upon which to base your future. To the under­ classmen, a word from one who has already passed this way: Do not allow yourself to become entangled by the petty, for these are surely the most productive and valuable years of your lives. In closing, we challenge each of you to excel through vision, enlightenment, and understanding. As you reminisce through the pages of this 30th Anniversary Issue of the PILOT, may you recognize the signifi­ cance of a most wonderful year. If you stu­ dents are pleased by this record of your achievements and disappointments, then our endeavors shall be rewarded. With best hopes for each of you, R. L. Diaz, Jr. Editor 1964 PILOT 3 66 Let the worJ go forth froirn. this tiirn.e amudl place o o o th.<lfi:t the torch has lbeen JJ_J>asseJ to a new generati?n of A:nrn.erricanso 99 4 .

A wiggle in her walk and a giggle in her talk LABEL Bear Family Records CATALOG # BCD 17109 PRICE-CODE AH EAN-CODE ÆxAKABMRy171092z ISBN-CODE 978-3-89916-521-0 FORMAT 1 CD digipac with 52-page booklet GENRE Rock’n’Roll TRACKS 31 PLAYING TIME 73:26 ● The ultimate tribute to the artist who died alongside Buddy Holly and Ritchie Valens on 'The Day The Music Died'! ● Includes the all-time smash hit Chantilly Lace! Plus the Big Bopper's original version of the hit he wrote for George Jones, White Lightning ● Also includes ultra-rare recordings by the Big Bopper – as well as tribute records and sequels by Eddie Cochran, rockabilly legend Ray Campi, and Jayne Mansfield (yes, THAT Jayne Mansfield) INFORMATION When the Big Bopper died in the plane crash that took the lives of Buddy Holly and Ritchie Valens, he'd scored just two hits, but his tragic death on 'The Day The Music Died' ensured his immortality. And it turns out he had a far more interesting career than most one or two hit wonders. For one thing, he wrote several other hits. His original version of George Jones' #1 country hit White Lightning is included here (he also wrote but never recorded Johnny Preston's #1 pop hit Running Bear). Sadly, he never saw eit- her song top the charts. But this generously full CD includes a lot of Bopper, starting with all known recordings: his unissued-at- the-time first recording from 1954, his fabulously rare early rock 'n' roll singles for Mercury, his original recording of Chantilly Lace and the follow-up, and his original LP.
