Re: a quick question
When Robin Luke recorded "Susie Darlin'", he was still going to Punahou School. From the Rockabilly Hall of Fame website:
The article goes on to say that Luke went on to a collegiate academic career. He appeared a few years ago at one of Tom Moffat's oldies shows at the Blaisdell Arena according to the article.

In May 1958, in the bedroom in a downtown apartment, Punahou senior Robin Luke recorded "Susie Darlin'," backing up his own vocals with guitar and ukulele while someone else provided percussion using a cardboard LP cover, two pens and a stick.
The song became a national Top 10 hit.
A few years later, Luke simply disappeared from the charts, leaving a generation of radio listeners wondering what happened to him.

From a second article on the same page:
"Susie Darlin' " was written at the beach, Luke says. "It was originally called 'All Night Long' but when we changed the title, I used my sister's name to keep me out of trouble with any girlfriends," Luke said. His sister, Susie Robison, lives in Columbia, Mo., with her husband and two children, and works for the state, Luke said.
