Talk:Franny Beecher

Saw the Comets in Liège, Belgium back in May 1974

and heard "Beecher's boogie woogie" played by Nick Nastos/Masters  :-) Stephan KŒNIG 18:16, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

Actually, that was "Guitar Boogie Shuffle" by Arthur Guitar Smith. For some reason Haley called it Beecher Boogie Woogie when Franny performed it, but it's the same song. 23skidoo 19:38, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

Tyrones question

(Moved from Talk:Jodimars 23skidoo 15:07, 4 June 2006 (UTC) )

• Blast off (Destination 2165)-Decca 9-30471, 10/1957
• Giggles/Broke down baby-Decca 9-30559, 02/1958

One question: did Mr. Beecher played on The Tyrones' "My rock'n'roll baby and "Year round love"? Still my pleasure! An e-mail address? stephan.koenig007@gmail.com or stephankoenig007@yahoo.fr Won't you come back in Belgium one day or another? Stephan

It is not know which if any Tyrones recordings Beecher performed on. I do believe, however, that he plays on "Blast Off" as there's a similar guitar line to that heard in the 1957 remake of "Rock the Joint" the Comets did. 23skidoo 15:07, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

Death

Beecher's passing was announced via his official Facebook page last night. At the moment there is no media coverage to cite as it occurred late last night after deadlines. It has been verified directly with the family, but that of course constitutes Original Research. 68.146.70.124 (talk) 12:50, 25 February 2014 (UTC)

• AP is now reporting and the number of media outlets worldwide is in the double digits, so it shouldn't be hard for a citation to be added. 68.146.70.124 (talk) 21:22, 25 February 2014 (UTC)

It's done -- he's listed as deceased. Quis separabit? 21:28, 25 February 2014 (UTC)
