Went to see the madeira Mandolin Orchestra last night. A unique experience. Never seen or heard anything like this before.

^Sounds interesting! What pieces did they play?

Despite not having the latent vocal power of Ronnie James Dio, Candice Night does justice to this version of “The Temple of the King”, IMHO, as does His Royal Ritchieness. I think I’d prefer it if she broke out now and then and got a bit wild and passionate instead of staying safely within the confines of the perfectly glossily rounded and executed, but that said, this is one of Blackmore’s Night’s more interesting albums, methinks!

"Harold David Box was born to Virginia and Harold Box on August 11, 1943 in Sulphur Springs, Texas. Box's family moved to Lubbock, Texas in 1946. Box was greatly influenced by his father, a self-taught Western Swing fiddle musician and started singing at the age of three, making public appearances at this time.His father taught him to play guitar, and he received one as a present for his eighth birthday. His style was influenced by early performances by Buddy Holly in 1954. In 1958, Box formed his own band, The Ravens, with Box on vocals and guitar, and classmates Lynn Bailey on bass, and Ernie Hall on drums. The band cut their first demos at Mitchell Studio in Lubbock.
As a close neighbor of Jerry Allison's parents, Ernie Hall reported that The Crickets needed a replacement for guitarist and vocalist Sonny Curtis, who had been drafted into the Army. The Ravens sent in their demos and auditioned, eventually winning the role; Box and Hall went to Los Angeles to cut the Crickets' next single. Box and Hall's composition, "Don't Cha Know" was used as the A-side, while a Buddy Holly composition, "Peggy Sue Got Married" was used as the B-side. Box played guitar and sang, Joe B. Mauldin played bass, Ernie Hall played drums on "Don't Cha Know", while Jerry Allison played drums on "Peggy Sue Got Married" and guitar on "Peggy Sue Got Married". This was the final single by the Crickets on Coral Records. For the following three weeks, Box and Hall supported the Crickets on tour before returning home to complete their schooling.
Box died on October 23, 1964, in a Cessna 172 Skyhawk which crashed nose-first and overturned at Houston, Texas. The other three people aboard the plane also died."

Interesting Frands.
So he died like Buddy Holly did. Strange!

I saw the Crickets awhile back with Waylon here at the college.

David Box & The Ravens is pretty rare nowadays. It is almost impossible to find any re-released albums. I have only been able to find two songs with David Box over at google play, sadly.
