TERRACE — The construction
industry in-Terrace is regaining
its old vitality as it continues to
recover from the building stump
of the past few years,
Although recent figures
released by Acting Senior Build-
ing Inspector, Gerry Lichten-

_ feld, indicated the industry may

be losing its head of steam, he

1. said all inducations are that 1987

would be one of: the best years

for the building trades in a long--

while.

-According to Lichtenfeld,
construction activity in Terrace
had reached the 2.64 million

dollar mark by mid 1987, while.

those two periods has increased

significantly,

which had ‘almost quadrupled

over the previous year. New
home starts in the first half of.

1987 accounted for more than
1.4 million dollars, or close to

half.of the total value of all con-.

struction this year, .
An interesting side note to

Lichtenfeld’s .report was ‘the :

your own mistakes and suffer
your own consequences”, But
the first big check that I brought
back from New York convinced
him that I’d gone in the right
direction’’.
Knox had written and record-
ed three million sellers: ‘Party
Doll’’, ‘‘Hula Love’’ and ‘“Rock
Your Baby To Sleep”. Soon
after this, he wrote another
million seller, ‘I’m Stickin’
With You’’, for his friend and
partner, Jim Bowen. .
With four gold records.on his
wall, Knox went on to appear on
the Ed Sullivan Show twice and
Dick Clark’s ‘‘American Band-
stand’’, eight times. He also ap-

peared in a rock and roll movie.

with Fats Domino, Frankie
Avalon and Chuck Berry called
‘‘Jamboree”’.

Knox’s career took a brief rest
at this point while he served-two
years in the U.S, Army. After
getting out of the army, his suc-
cess as a musician continued,

but it was never quite the same

as those early years.
‘*When I came out, we re-

formed for a while”’, said Knox.

“But things had changed a lot.

The guys had different interests

and different directions, so I
hired another band’’.

Buddy Knox continued his
singing career with a new band
and another string of superhits
such as ‘‘Lovey Dovey”, “Ling
Ting Tong”, “‘“Gypsy Man” and
“Storm Clouds”, and was
selected as the ‘‘foremost expo-
nent of Rockabilly music in the
world” by a survey of music
trade magazines,

In the mid-sixties, rock and
roll music took a detour to the
80s where it is now regaining its
vitality. During those lean years
Knox hit the night club circuit.

“I was doing three 40-minute
shows a night, six nights a week,
and then doing a matinee on
Saturday. lt beat your brains

- out. You came out of there likea
boxer that’s been boxing for 50
years. I got to where I couldn’t
even remember the name of the
last town I was in,

*‘T quite a couple of times. But
I came’ back to do it again
because once you. wear your
shoes out in rock ’n roll, you're
going to come back one way or

-

the other’,
When the music of the. fifties
Started to regain popularity
about three years ago, Knox
didn’t question why. He was
ready to get back into concerts.
“It’s a universal thing right. I
don’t know why, but thank God
for it. It’s given us guys a chance
to make a super good living,
plus do what we really like to
do’’, .
The ‘‘Legends of Rock 'n
Roll’’ tour that recently visited

Terrace, was, according to §
Knox, one of the highlights of

the past three years.

“We've got super dynamite >
bands, pretty girls to do the

vocal back-up, the technicians
are outstanding, and all of us are
good friends. It’s a nice, com-
fortable, well-organized show’’,
he said.

“‘And this is a pretty en-
thusiastic crowd here tonight.
We knew Terrace would be
good, but this crowd is as good
as the best we’ve had. The only
flaw in the whole show is that we
have to quit after about 40 days.
I wish it was going for 200 days
because I’m going to be really
sad when it’s over’’.

However, he probably won’t
be sad for long. Rock ’n Roll is
alive and well. °

Following a tour of Australia,
New Zealand and Hawaii, Knox
did: shows in France and Ger-
many before joining the
“Legends of Rock ’n Roll”
tour. ae

When it’s over, he starts a 20

‘day tour with Dick Clark in the

States, which will be followed by
15 days in Eastern Canada, and
then another American tour for
10 to 15 days with Bobby Vee.
He says that he hopes that tour
will be followed by another
European tour,

It’s been a long career, with
many great achievements, But it
has also been long hours and a
lot of hard work. Would he do it
all over again? .

The answer would have to be
*“*ves", because that’s. exactly
what is happening right now
with the revival of Rock 'n Roll,
And if you asked him what he
thought of the first 30 years,

he’d say, “It’s been great. I’ve ff.

loved every second of it’’.
