It was 54 yrs ago today that the music died… Waylon Jennings was travelling with Buddy Holly on that fateful tour, filling-in on bass. He was also originally scheduled on the plane headed from Clear Lake, Iowa to Moorhead, Minn. – but he gave up his seat to the Big Bopper, who was ill and wanted to find a doctor in Moorhead the next morning. Tommy Allsup also gave up his seat on that plane to “La Bamba” singer Ritchie Valens. Jenning’s last comment to Buddy Holly was “Hope your darn ole plane crashes.”  Ouch, man. I’m sure ol’ Waylon wishes he could take that one back. Holly was a good friend, and Waylon’s mentor – teaching him guitar licks, collaborating on songs, and producing Jennings’ first single - Jole Blon. Waylon recalls, ”Mainly what I learned from Buddy was an attitude.  He loved music, and he taught me that it shouldn’t have any barriers to it.”

The Shelby-American crew working on the Lang Cooper “King Cobra” driven by Dave MacDonald at the newly constructed Phoenix International Raceway, 1964. The car’s engine had blown after qualifying the previous day, and a replacement engine was brought in from LA and quickly wrenched the morning of the race. MacDonald got in only three laps on the new engine before being fitted on the grid, 30 seconds before the flag fell. –Image by Dave Friedman

ca. 1972 — Robert Redford, looking very Jeremiah Johnson here, on his Yamaha dirt bike — Image by Orlando Globey Robert Redford stumbled upon what would become Sundance while riding his motorcycle from his home in California to school at the University of Colorado in the 1950s and saw the totemic 12,000 foot Mount Timpanogos. “It reminded me of the Jungfrau in Switzerland,” he says. “It stuck in my head.”

Jungle Jim Liberman, Jungle Pam, Austin Coil and Merle Mangles after hours and relaxing. Coil, of “Chi-Town Hustler” funnycar fame, Mangles and the Jungles Jim and Pam of the most beloved F/C team to ever tour, in a candid glimpse of the lives of pro drag racers in the early Seventies. –Photograph by Paul Stenquist, who comments: “These aren’t good photos, but some of you may find them interesting. I shot them a couple of days before Christmas in 1976 at Austin Coil’s apartment in Justice, Illinois. Austin was the brains behind the “Chi-Town Hustler” funny car, a top contender for many years in American drag racing competition. In later years, he took John Force to numerous world championships. In the foreground is Jim “Jungle Jim” Liberman (the furry thing without a head) and his girlfriend, sidekick, showpiece, Pam “Jungle Pam” Hardy. Austin Coil and his friend, Merle Mangles, are in the background.”
