In one corner of his land, he built a small amphitheater where, from 1969 to 1974, Buddy and his wife Freda portrayed Adam and Eve.

"I pulled a string -- you couldn't see the string -- and the rib came up," said Buddy, whose real name is Boris Max Pastuch. "It was actually a religious play, see."

Since the Queen's passing, Redd Foxx has seen and heard dozens of new voices and faces in the many clubs he works, but none that compared to the great Dinah Washington, that is, until he heard Donna Drake.

| Legendary Stardust Cowboy |
While a student at Lubbock’s Monterey High School in the mid-sixties, Norman Carl Odam, the only son of Utahonna Beauchamp, a clerk at J. C. Penney’s, and Carl Bunyan Odam, an auto mechanic, would stand on the school steps and bang on an old guitar (using only the G7 chord, according to Ely). Often, suited up in his Ledge outfit, he’d tool into fast-food drive-ins in a light blue Chevy Biscayne with “NASA presents the Stardust Cowboy” spray-painted on the side, hop on top of the car, and start his show. The kids would rearrange their cars to face him. Some would cheer him on, others would pelt him with Sweetarts or clumps of dirt, then invariably—before he could demonstrate his skills on the bugle and the washboard—fights would start and he’d have to peel out. (from Texas Monthly, June 2000)

Way Out West
Backing band : Somebody's Children (aka the Chyldren, aka The Off-Beats, aka The Children)
A Dagonet Production (David Mallet)
Derek Taylor* wrote in his book "As Time Goes By"[excerpt]
[...] David Mallet called me one day in Hollywood and asked me if I would like to represent Mae West. I said, oh I don't know, I'm very busy, you know how it is. He said she had made a rock'n'roll record, an album called Way Out West for Tower Records (a Capitol subsidiary which Capitol closed with an axe in the back in 1969), and she was going to need publicity on account of she had not been heard for some years.
David Mallet was then in his early twenties. He was British, living in Hollywood, and working as assistant producer to Jack Good on Shinding!, and [...] he was very enthusiastic and persuasive and it took him all of half a minute to persuade me to change my mind and I promised to work for Miss West.
He warned me there was much to be done. "She is a very fussy old lady," he said, "but you mustn't ever use the word "old" in her presence. She would be very cross, very cross indeed." [...]
*Derek Taylor was The Beatles’ Press Officer in 1964 and the Apple Press Officer between 1968 and 1970. Between times he represented many acts including The Beach Boys and The Byrds. He continued to work with The Beatles in the 1980s and 1990s,

When It's Time
Oddity from 1975. Who were Joyce Di Brango and Frank Wilson, sole owners of JOiFU Records, located at 102 Hobart Street, in Utica, N.Y.? I can't find much info about them.
Joi (Joyce Lauraine DiBrango) was born in 1944. A 1959 newspaper tells us that she was a member of The Utica Grammar School Girls Basketball League team that wins a city “sports day” tournament and that she was from Roosevelt School.
Even more mysterious is Fu aka Frank Edward Wilson, born in 1912.
JOiFU Records was active in the seventies and released two "Broadway Musical Show" albums and several singles recorded by
Mike Rogers,
Gene Marshall,Gene Marshall & The Clicking Flicks,Jim Fraser,Big Jim Biji (Jim Fraser?) And The Biji Roks,Connie Heywey And The Biji RoksConnie Wayne and the Winchester Beegees.
Text (mixing upper and lower case) found on the back of their second album cover is a complete nonsense :
Excerpt:
This is the 2nd Broadway Musical Project by ASCAP writers/publishers and record label owners Joyce Lauraine Dibrango "joi" and Frank Edward Wilson "fu" from Utica New York. They are experienced veteran professional all music artists, Jazrok is their paramount style and Frank's stint with the Utica Civic Orchestra brought the USA National Title to that Group in the 1950's.More later, hopefully...
"Rocking with Barbara" song 5 explains "Queen Barbara" is the real USA all Music Queen. She is Real. You may see her any day at her executive office desk. Her 1970-1980 The greatest in all time USA history. That gigantic.
