		Burnette by then was appearing in small venues and playing to anyone who would pay him, getting into fights occasionally and taking too many drinks and too many pills.

		Among the three tunes recorded that July 4, presumably after the Trio returned from their Cumberland River outing, were "Rock Therapy" and "Rock Billy Boogie." The latter, especially, has since entered the repertoire of every history-conscious band that has ever seen fit to tear it up in homage to their 1950s forebears.
		The Burnettes went on to separate solo careers (Johnny Burnette's "You're Sixteen" being the most famous outcome) while Burlison retired from music to raise his family.
		(Billy Burnette is Dorsey's son.) Since then, Burlison has continued to play when he feels like it, and as of this coming week he will be up at Levon Helm's studio in Woodstock, recording with the Band for an upcoming album of new material.
