I never said Crenshaw was a Buddy Holly clone, I said he was a big Holly fan, which he is and is influenced by Buddy, which he is. He's hardly a clone, Buddy was a much better songwriter, just for starters.

The end of Rockabilly... Rockabilly never fully recovered from the untimely deaths of two of it's biggest stars, Buddy Holly, in a 1959 plane crash and Eddie Cochrane, in a taxi, on the way to the airport, a year later; however, one other rockabilly star to die in this era seems to be forgotten; Johnny Horton. Horton is best known as a country star, but, could rockabilly with the best of them:

www.youtube.com/watch?v=0rrqBsG1yXsHaving a major, major Gram Parsons binge at the moment. Just can’t get this song out of my head. Gram Parsons, a handsome, charismatic man and hugely talented individual. Dead at the age of 26, having destroyed himself with drink and drugs. I feel sad and angry in equal measure; a senseless waste, a terrible loss of potential. Just imagine the amazing music he would have created if he had lived, he would have gone on to collaborate with Elvis Costello no doubt about it.

Brian Wilson is a FORMER Beach Boy??? He founded the band, ffs! Blondie's the former BB. Let's get back to hillbilly rockers. If it's Johnny Horton, I automatically think of "Sink the Bismark" due to accidents of upbringing. He cut a handful of historic battle novelty songs and a least a couple were in the charts. But I put Johnny more on the Country side of the line, not so much Rock 'n' Roll. He's usually pretty laid back, with the relaxed affability of country swing. Even when he's honky-tonkin'. Johnny Horton - Honky Tonk Man2008 MAR 29 by Mike (2:14) Classic Johnny Horton tune. Same year and same studio as Buddy's ill-fated "That'll Be The Day". And it belongs to the history of rockabilly, but not really the main line. I remember him getting styled as some kind of folk artist, which must have made them spray beer on their boots in Nashville. Of course, at the tip of the rockabilly iceberg theres… Carl Perkins Jerry Lee Lewis Bill Haley Elvis Presley Duane Eddy Johnny Cash, even, as well as Gene Vincent Wanda Jackson previously mentioned Occasionally, the Everly Brothers And just a couple more: www.rockabillyhall.com/RabHof.htmlRockabilly didn't simply dry up because of one horrendous plane crash. In the US I'd say it was more a victim of class prejudice, as white kids in cities started going for a more urban, and more collegiate image. Surf happened. Garage happened. It didn't go the same way in Great Britain, for example. Fans hung on years and years longer, beyond the Beatles, beyond the Mod bands. It points to the decline in the US being more a matter of generational changes in taste. And frankly the snobbery that's implied by the rockabilly label to start with.

According to their FB-page they are in the studio doing new material. The Jakarta Post says the same, but they got their information from Facebook too: Legendary all-female band Dara Puspita back in recording studio2017 AUG 24 by Asmara Wreksono Asmara Wreksono for the Jakarta Post www.thejakartapost.com/life/2017/08/24/legendary-all-female-band-dara-puspita-back-in-recording-studio.htmlWith the name ‘Irama Puspita’, the all-girl band begun to perform as Koes Bersaudara’s opening act in 1965 and due to a mistake in an announcement for its performance in February 1965, the band’s name was unintentionally changed into ‘Dara Puspita’. In an interview with Rolling Stone Indonesia, Susy Nander said, “We didn’t protest at that time because Dara Puspita had a nicer ring to it.” Sublime Frequencies comp CD album sampler SF054, Dara Puspita 1966-1968
with short bio and 10-second song clips from Soundcloud: www.sublimefrequencies.com/products/576871-dara-puspita-1966-1968DARA PUSPITA, with links to other useful articles 2008 JUN 23 from the Radiodiffusion Internasionaal Annexe music blog radiodiffusion.wordpress.com/2008/06/23/dara-puspita/ In concerts held in Britain, they mostly performed as an opening act for top groups such as Uriah Heep and Shocking Blue. They also toured to France, Belgium, Spain, and the Netherlands. They were very welcomed in the Netherlands. Everyone seems to have cried when they performed a song “Surabaja” from their first album. (It could be because Indonesia was a colony in the Netherlands for 360 years.) Dara Puspita (Tikki Takki Suzy & Lies)2013 AUG 09 by Eddy Nasral at Windyna's Blog (Indonesian) windyna.wordpress.com/2013/08/09/dara-puspita-tikki-takki-suzy-lies/Dara Puspita is a legendary Indonesian female band that I think deserves to be noted in the Guinness Book of World Records. [They're honored at ] the Indonesia World Records Museum (MURI) as the women's music group who have had the longest tour of Europe during 1968-1971, or approximately 3 years. To my knowledge that has never been done by another women's music group (all-girl band) anywhere in the world to date… Eddy has a YouTube channel with a few vinyl rips of Dara Puspita. Also a load of other artists in his collection, frequently over slideshows of the actresses Sophia Loren, Silvana Mangano and Jeanne Moreau… with whom he is obsessed. Band profile at Wikipedia:en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dara_PuspitaAt Spotify (with 20 similar-to artist links): open.spotify.com/artist/1kzCB4mr4bTN5KN7BfCQ2U〜〜〜 The song lyrics and performance video of "Surabaya" recall the 1945 Battle of Surabaya, the beginning of Indonesia's war of independence following the collapse of the occupation by Imperial Japan. The flag-waving jokes might refer to the seizure of a tri-colored Dutch flag which had been raised at the former Hotel Yamato, and was torn by members of the nationalist militia until it resembled the red and white flag of Indonesia. Ironically, the revolution was led by the emerging nation's President Sukarno. In 1964 he banned rock music and Western pop culture in general, and reportedly hauled members of Dara Puspita in for questioning by the authorities. He was attempting to maintain himself in power by aligning with China and with Indonesia's own Communist Party, against anti-communist army leaders who were to depose him in 1967 following a violent 1965 military coup. The band are all dressed up like freedom fighters and playing material that's far removed from their otherwise garage-rocking, British Invasion-loving selves. Maybe they needed to make nice with the ruling regime, I dunno. I'm no good at Indonesian, but there's stuff in here about never to be forgotten memories, a thousand hearts united, and struggling at the risk of one's life. Surabaya oh Surabaya oh Surabaya Kota kenangan kota kenangan takkan terlupa
Di sanalah di sanalah di Surabaya Pertama 'tuk yang pertama kami berjumpa
Kuteringat masa yang telah lalu Seribu insan seribu hati berpadu satu
Surabaya di tahun empat lima Kami berjuang kami berjuang bertaruh nyawa
