Tooter Boatman

Tooter Boatman, Thunder and Lightning William McCon Boatman Jr. An entertainer, showman, musician and singer. His other well known talents were fighter and lover. Tooter was known to kick a wild bull in the ass, as the bull swung around for the kill Tooter would spit in his eye. The bull would "beller" and run away in fear. Tooter had more girl friends than Elvis had golden records. He could handle a couple of dates a night. Married for a short time... one day! Don't know her name but I've seen her blazing eyes. They could tear a body in half with one slow glare. Tooter lived across the road from an Assembly of God Church which woke him up with a blessing each Sunday morning. Tooter's house is torn down now, an empty lot the church uses for parking. Tooter's band, the Chaparrals, then consisted of Charlie O'Bannon (piano), Bill Bland (guitar) and Shorty Dinglar (slap bass). What they needed was a drummer. After they saw me with the Jabo Combo on Pat Boone's WBAP-TV show in Fort Worth the Chaparrals came over to my house to audition me. They had to have drums for recording the rock and roll sound of rim shots, cymbal crashes and drum rolling effects. I started touring with Tooter in March 1957. The Chaparrals home was Mineral Wells with a playing circuit as far out as Wichita Falls, Lubbock, Brownwood, Dallas, and so on... And you know that Tooter had a rock and roll sweetheart in each town! We never played in Mineral Wells, our home town. Feeling hurt and in defiance, Tooter proclaimed his town as the official Dodo County. He named the police Dodo Scouts, because Tooter said that they were always out riding around looking for shit, and when they found some, they'd smell of it. Tooter and the Chaparrals began recording songs at Danny Wolfe's studio in Stephenville. We did some cuts at Herring's in Fort Worth, but the closeness in Danny's studio generated the warm personal feeling, the true sound of Tooter. Danny often booked us in clubs and on TV shows to push his records. Tooter was the spotlight star on a show called "Teenage Downbeat" in Fort Worth on June 11, 1959. Shorty Dinglar continued playing slap bass for Tooter after leaving the army, but then later Shorty left with his family, moving back to upper New York State. Without Shorty, the Tooter Boatman sound as we love it vanished... By Clayton Glover (Tooter's drummer) Check out Clay Glover's ScrapBook Vol. 1

THUNDER AND LIGHTNING
(T. Boatman)

TOOTER BOATMAN (TWINKLE 501, 1958)

Hear that thunder and lightning
Raining on through the night
Feel that cool wind blowing
The moon's gone out of sight
Darkness all around us
Darkness everywhere
I'm a-gonna wanna hold you a-baby
And you don't want me near
I said mmm-mmm, mmm-mmm, mmm-mmm
Hear that thunder and lightning

Well, hear that big wheel rolling
Rolling on down the line
Vibration of sensation
Man, when her lips meet mine
Fingers off of the lightning
They're a-running through my hair
Sometime I don't know who I am
I just don't care
I said mmm-mmm, mmm-mmm, mmm-mmm
Oh, hear that thunder and lightning

Well, hear that big wheel rolling
Rolling on down the line
Vibration of sensation
Wow, when her lips meet mine
Fingers off of the lightning
They're running through my hair
Sometime I don't know who I am
And again, I just don't care
I said mmm-mmm, mmm-mmm, mmm-mmm
Oh, hear that thunder and lightning
Hear that thunder and lightning

Yeah, hear that thunder and lightning
Oh, hear that thunder and lightning
Man, hear that thunder and lightning
Yeah...

LIFE BEGINS AT FOUR O'CLOCK
(Danny Wolfe)

BOBBY MILANO (CHALLENGE 59005, 1958)

Six long hours just a-sittin' in school
The complicated books make me feel like a fool
Chickens in a coup make a man wanna shout
Bell starts ringin' and school turns out
And then you scream, come here my queen
We're gonna run, have some fun
And everybody knows when you start to rock
That life begins at four o'clock

Sip two straws with a soda in between
Clappin' your hands to the record machine
Chicken coup now seems a million miles away
And nobody heard what the teacher had to say
And then you scream, come here my queen
We're gonna dance, make romance
And everybody knows when you start to rock
That life begins at four o'clock

Dancin' with your queen till you run out of breath
Lookin' at your watch scares a man half to death
Run your baby home, barely make it in time
Four o'clock tomorrow already on your mind
And then you scream, come here my queen
We're gonna run, have some fun
'Cause everybody knows when you start to rock
That life begins at four o'clock

Dancin' with your queen till you run out of breath
Lookin' at your watch scares a man half to death
Run your baby home, barely make it in time
Four o'clock tomorrow already on your mind
And then you scream, come here my queen
We're gonna run, have some fun
'Cause everybody knows when you start to rock
That life begins at four o'clock
