Casey Jones & The Governors - Don't Ha Ha (1966)

Brian Casser was first a cook before he founded the band Cass & the Casanovas in 1959. This initially interpreted folk repertoire, but quickly turned to the more promising beat music. After the breakup of Casser, the remaining band members continued to play as a trio, now under the name The Big Three with a harder sound as "one of the loudest bands on the Mersey." Guitarist Adrian Barber was later a stage manager at Hamburg's Star Club, and drummer Johnny Hutchinson occasionally helped out with the Beatles. Meanwhile, Cass became "Casey Jones," and his new backing band was now called The Engineers - both allusions to the relatively well-known story in the Anglo-Saxon-speaking world of the American locomotive engineer of the same name. The members at times included musicians such as Eric Clapton and Tom McGuinness. After the end of this equally short-lived lineup, Casser's musical career rested for some time because he was discovered for television and appeared in front of the camera in quite a few Maigret episodes. When the series was shot, Casser looked for new players. The resulting quintet called itself Casey Jones & the Governors and within a very short time gained an excellent reputation as a spirited beat band. The five musicians toured successfully not only in England, but also in Germany and had great success in the Star Club. Their recording career, however, lasted little more than a year with recordings in Munich and Frankfurt/Main. Their most famous title Don't Ha Ha was recorded in Munich in October 1964 and was originally written by Huey "Piano" Smith, with him and his "Clowns" it was still called Don't You Just Know It (July 1958). The party classic has been covered by Mr. Ed Jumps the Gun (April 1996) and by DJ Ötzi (July 2001), among others. Casey Jones, 2015 live at Café Curioso, Heinsberg. In 1966, the formation changed its name to Gaslight Union, remained in Germany and received a record deal with Electrola before fading into obscurity in 1968. David Christopher John Colman came to WDR in 1969 as an editor and disc jockey and got there his own Dave Colman Show, Casey Jones worked in the mid-1970s as a DJ in a discotheque in Löhnberg (Hesse). In 1974 he ran his own discotheque in Bassum. He organized various live acts there. Among others with the Scorpions. In the course of the oldies boom, Jones performed again (with new musicians) in the 1980s and 1990s. Today Casey Jones lives in Unna[3] and occasionally performs with the oldies band Here comes Johnny. Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)
