Rory Storm & The Hurricanes
 Despite
changing the name from the Texans, Rory was obviously still fond
of the numerous Western series on television.
He decided to call Byrne Johnny Guitar, after the title of the
1954 Joan Crawford Western, Ritchie became Ringo Starr (after
Belle Starr) and Charles was renamed Ty after Ty Hardin, star of
the Bronco series.
Rory also thought that Lou Walters was a more suitable name for
Wally.
Rory Storm (real name Alan Caldwell) committed suicide on
27 September 1972. He was only 32.
