1971:

Eddie Cochran (1938 - 1960) was an American musician who earned a place in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1987. His rockabilly songs were covered by many later artists, including Led Zeppelin. Cochran experimented with multitrack recording and overdubbing, and is credited as one of the first to use an unwound third string in order to "bend" notes up a whole tone.

Eddie Cochran was killed, while on tour in the UK, in a single vehicle crash when he was only 21 years old. During the time that the taxi and its contents were at the local police station a police cadet taught himself to play guitar on Cochran's impounded Gretsch.

On This Day 17 April

1964
Mickey Waller (1947 – 2013), a.k.a. Mickey Finn, was an English guitarist, founder of Mickey Finn & The Blue Men (not to be confused with the Blue Man group).  While Jimmy Page didn't get credit as a session man or a full-time member of the band, he did play on a few of their records.

This is one of the sessions I did whilst I was still at art school and on this I played harmonica. Mickey Finn and the Blue Men had applied a blue beat rhythm to the Jimmy Reid song 'Hush Your Mouth'. I had done other recordings with this band: the guys were cool and were always good to play with.

On this day in 1960, Eddie Cochran died in a road traffic accident in Chippenham, Wiltshire. RIP.
