What Can Your Parents Tell You About Their Youth?
1. Buddy from the story Buddytasks Song by Nigel Hinton liked music and played the guitar. His dad hoped his son would become as famous as Buddy Holly. * Buddytasks dad found a group The Hi-Tone Four that needed a vocalist. Now Buddy was in the group.
1) How did his first performance finish?
His dad worked hard to find them work and he even got a gig at a pub in a nearby town for a Teddy Boys reunion evening.
"Theytaskre all mad music fans," he told Buddy, "so theytaskll love you. Theretasks a couple of other groups but you lot are top of the bill. Ittaskll be great."
It should have been great, but it was a disaster.
By the time they arrived, the pub was packed with Teddy Boys all dressed up for an evening out. The second group was just coming to the end of their performance and the noise in the pub was incredible. Nobody seemed to be listening to the music; instead, there was a lot of pushing and shouting, and a feeling of violence in the air. Most of the Teddy Boys were old and fat and looked terrible with their big stomachs under their jackets. Buddy was surprised, though, to see quite a number of young people about his age. They seemed to be the ones who were causing most of the trouble, shoving each other around and looking as if all they wanted to do was fight.
When the second group finished, they quickly set up their equipment on the tiny stage in the corner. The pub was obviously a regular place where Teds met because the juke-box was filled with old rocktaskntaskroll records, and while they were getting ready Buddy was horrified to hear two of the songs he and the group were going to play.
"We cantaskt sing those," he said to Paul, as they started to tune up. "Wetaskll sound awful after the record."
"Nah, ittaskll be all right," Paul said. "OK, boys, ready?"
Paul waited for the song to stop on the juke-box then he stepped forward to the mike (microphone). "Right, boys and girls, time for some live music. Itaskd like to introduce taskThe Hi-Tone Fourtask with our young vocalist, Buddy Clark."
He stepped out the beat and they launched into "Good Golly Miss Molly*".
Then, louder than the group, came the sound of the original version of the song by Little Richard.* Somebody had put it on the jukebox.
There was a movement in the crowd as people looked round at the juke-box, then back at the group. With the noise of the record in front and the noise of the band behind him, Buddy couldntaskt hear anything else but he could see by the jeering faces that everybody was laughing.
Then Buddy saw his dad moving towards the juke-box, his face determined and angry. He bent down and pulled the plug out of the socket. The record stopped and the fight started. One of the young boys pushed his dad aside to try to get to the plug, his dad pushed back and the next moment there was the sound of smashing glass as the people dropped their beers and crashed into each other.
