[78-L] Eddie Cochran documentary

[neechevoneeznayou at gmail.com]

William Kapell was 32. Plane crash. Too bad that is mostly what he is 
remembered for today - how his life ended. Any article about him starts 
with "he died in a plane crash as his career was shifting into high 
gear" or some such.

He was a terrific pianist and musician, should be remembered for his 
towering achievements, not how it came to an end.
