PART ONE: Photos from The Crickets' Final Performance.This event took place on February 6, 2016 at the 38th annual Winter Dance Party at the Surf Ballroom in Clear Lake, Iowa where the Crickets had performed a number of times since 1992. Many had drifted in and out of the group over the years (see PART TWO, below) and some of them reunited on this night, honoring the late Joe B. Mauldin in the Crickets' last public appearance. Unfortunately Sonny Curtis could not be present due to illness. |

PART THREE: Details of a Crickets radio special done on an alternative radio station on July 1, 2000. For those interested in what might be played on the various "specials" done on Rockin' John McDonald's weekly show "I Like It Like That" on WORT-FM in Madison, Wisconsin, here is an example using a Crickets special of July 1, 2000 with "Reelin' John Lindquist," occasional fill-in and guest host. As with the regular shows, note that the hits do not dominate the program over what might be otherwise significantly interesting from a singer's or group's career. (Those radio listeners interested only in the wretched "nothing but the hits" programming can go to almost any commercial oldies radio station.) The bulk of this particular show dealt with post-Holly Crickets recordings.
