Tinker Carlen: An Original Cricket

By Truman Dayon Godwin

This is a short biography of Tinker Carlen, a guitarist and singer in the world-famous Cricket band. It is a story of the origin of the Crickets and Tinkers involvement from the very beginning when Tinker, Buddy Holley, and other young musicians got together to "make music and entertain."It is Tinkers story, not a copy of anything thats been written about the evolution of the Crickets, its individual members, or of their successes and failures. Some of Tinkers life experiences are related as he remembers the challenges of pursuing a musical career. Also included are many experiences of the band-some funny, some sad-as each member faces the problems of growing up and the unexpected cultural problems from people who didnt approve of their "rock-a-billy" style of music.
