In fact, they got to be one of the opening acts for the Stones on their June 1966 Maple Leaf Gardens gig.

Stanley Dural, Jr. (November 14, 1947 – September 24, 2016)


Dural was born in Lafayette, Louisiana. He acquired his nickname as ayouth, because, with his braided hair, he looked like the character Buckwheat from Our Gang/The Little Rascals movies. Buckwheat accepted an invitation in 1976 to join Clifton Chenier’s Red Hot
Louisiana Band as organist. He quickly discovered the popularity of Zydeco music, and marveled at the effect the music had on the audience. “Everywhere, people young and old just loved zydeco music,” Dural says. “I had so much fun playing that first night with Clifton. Dural's relationship with the legendary Chenier led him to take up the accordion in 1978. After practicing for a year, he felt ready to start his own band under the name Buckwheat Zydeco. In 1988, Eric Clapton invited the band to open his North American tour.  Dural died of lung cancer at age 68

Originally known as The Kingsman, who formed in 1963. They changed their name to The Gants, after a popular brand of shirt with a button-down collar. Based out of Greenville, Mississippi, they patterned themselves after the British invasion bands. Sid Herring tried to look like Herman Hermit Noone. As the band got busier it conflicted with their day jobs and they had to call it quits in 1967. But they’ve gone down in history as simply the best and most popular Mississippi rock band of their time.

A later, minor hit, entitled "Moulty", was a humorous auto-biographical song about the drummer's life and losing his hand when he was 14.
