While we were traveling, Buddy Knox took me to meet Gene Vincent, where he lived outside Amarillo in a house. But we showed up at a bad time. There were maybe a hundred people already there. Gene was standing on his bed firing his gun. I have no idea why! Buddy Knox and I got the hell out of there!
On the Buddy Knox tour I did a cover of Gene's hit, "Be Bop A Lula." Here's a You-Tube performance of Gene doing that song. (This is a more sedate performance than the second one below.)
