Description:
A history of the very beginning of La Crosse's rock and roll legacy in 1957 and the beginning of Lindy Shannon's promotion of local rock bands as told by Tari Tovsen, La Crosse musician and pop music historian. The T-J's members were Jack Roubik, Tom Terry, Duane Schroeder and Bill Weigel.
In 1958, the T-J's were only the second band in Wisconsin to release a rock and roll record. It was released on the Lindy label and recorded at Kay Bank Studios in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Many years later, the group was inducted into the Rockabilly Hall of Fame.
Starting at 00:05:00 through to the end of this video, the T-J's live music performance of "Party Party" at the 1994 Lindy Shannon Reunion Show is featured. This was the last time the T-J's performed as a group publicly.
