the police station . He practised on the guitar for 2 weeks until it

Dave Dee |
Early in the Tour a young fan who had
blagged his way back stage . Helping Cochran’s band pack away their
gear. He had proudly carried the same guitar to Cochran’s car and
handed it to him . That fan carrying guitar was a young Marc Bolan.
Obviously getting the same vibes from the powerful guitar . Sadly
after huge success Bolans fate was to be the same as Cochran’s . He
too was involved in a fatal car crash . The difference being he was in a
private car it hit a tree not a lamp post . But in both cases they were not the drivers.of the cars.
