Dave 'Diddle' Day

about

Dave DAY. Birth name David Fatalsky. The Comets backed Pittsburgh-based Day on the single "Calypso Rock"/"Blue" which was released on the Casa Blanca and Kapp labels as Dave Day and the Red Coats (sources differ as to whether this recording dates to 1956 or 1959, but Billboard indicates a 1956 release). Both songs were co-written by Day and Bill Haley. Day also recorded under the names Davey Day and Dave "Diddle" Day. According to music bibliographers Carl and Nancy Janusek, in their liner notes for the album Rock 'n' Roll Fee Bee, Day was hired by Haley's manager, Jim Ferguson, to play rhythm guitar and sing with the Comets at some point in the 1950s.
