Anyone reading this old enough to remember the 60's super hit song "Sugar Shack"?I sure remember it and everytime I hear it playing on an oldies channel I get goose bumps. Why the goose bumps you may be wondering? Because I once lived in the same town where that song was produced and I have met the lead singer and founding member of the Fireballs, George Tomsco, a couple of times now.
The Fireballs formed in Raton, New Mexico in the late 1950's. In the 60's, they recorded "Sugar Shack" and several other hits at Norman Petty Studios in Clovis, New Mexico. Can you believe that George and some of the other original members of the band are still performing nationally as the Fireballs?
If you'd like to pick up a copy of a really great compilition CD entitled "The Fireballs - Clovis Classics" hop on ove and order it from Amazon.com - you'll be glad that you did!
By the way, the late great Buddy Holly also recorded his top hit "Peggy Sue" and several other great songs in the same studio in Clovis.
