This "fair-use quote" is from the longer essay that originally appeared in the “Northwest Music Archives” column of Seattle Washington's The Rocket magazine back in April, 1984: "In 1960 the band were approached by a traveling businessman about making a single for some out-of-state vanity label: Dream Records. “I Love A Girl” and “My Only Love” were recorded (with guest backing by Tiny Tony and the Gallahads), but in the end, it cost the guys $300 to receive a mere fifty copies, so that was a hard lesson learned. Stull had had enough, but upon his exit, Berry returned – bringing with him a new original tune he’d composed while playing his grandmother’s piano. It would be called “Granny’s Pad.” The Viceroys’ first big break occurred in the summer of ’62 when World’s Fair frenzy gripped Seattle. The combo scored the gig as regular performers on KTNT-TV's Deck Dance, an afternoon teen show hosted by radio DJ “Big Daddy” Dave Clark. [Viceroys seen here with fellow guest, Robin Robinson.] Broadcast for two full months from the deck of the Dominion Monarch, a luxury liner anchored as a tourist hotel at Pier 50 on Elliott Bay, this television exposure proved to be invaluable as the band began receiving positive responses to “Granny’s Pad” after introducing it on the show. Signed by Seattle’s Seafair-Bolo Records, “Granny’s Pad” / “Blues Bouquet” was released by early 1963 and the town’s AM radio kingpin, Pat O’Day, entered it on KJR’s Battle of the New Sounds completion. The instrumental became a smash regional hit – the biggest Northwest hit ever (up until that point in time) according to Bolo’s Tom Ogilvy – and was picked up for national distribution by California’s Dot Records (and momentarily issued as the "Viceroys Five" when the label got spooked about some other Viceroys group out there somewhere.)"
