"CL [Christian Lamitschka]: How did it happen that Brenda Lee wrote
the foreword for the book?
BC [Buzz Cason]: We first worked together in the late 50's maybe as 12
years old. The Casuals backed her up and became her back up for many
years after that, her manager had a vision of a teenage band backing
his teenage artist and he tried us out in Rockford, Il. in about '58
and it worked out well. We traveled all 50 states with her, the band
became a big part of her show, and she was having one hit right after
the other. She had just tons of hits in a row and we were with her
during all that."
