Band flips around the country
TGIF is signal to hit the road
By DICK GROVE
You're a KU senior majoring in math, married, and a father-to-be. You travel close to 1,000 miles every weekend, attend class four days a week and manage to make a two-point your last semester.
Sound impossible?
To Danny Hein, Tulsa senior,
it's quite real. Hein himself is the
master of ceremonies, vocalist
and organist with the Fabulous
Flippers, a local rhythm and
blues band that is beginning to
make the national scene.
EVERY WEEKEND HEIN and the other members of the band load their equipment aboard a rejuvenated school bus and head for such exotic places at Fort Dodge, Iowa; Lincoln, Nebr., and Minneapolis, Minn.
"We probably travel between 800 and 1,000 miles every week-end," Hein said. "This includes shows in two and sometimes three towns."
HEIN, WHO transferred from Oklahoma State in 1964 when he joined the Flippers, said weekend traveling hasn't hurt his studying.
"If I have a test coming up, I study in the motel after the dance; otherwise I get it done before we leave on Friday," Hein said.
HEIN'S WIFE, who is expecting their first child, said she misses Hein on the weekends but feels it is worth it.
"I would never ask Danny to give it up because he loves it so much," Mrs. Hein said. "We have a great life and I'm not complaining. It will be rougher this summer with the baby here, though."

"NO ONE WILL BOTHER the house with Taurus as a watchdog," Hein said. "It will still be rough, though, because I'll want to be home with the kid."
Hein is one of two band members who are still attending KU. The other six dropped out to concentrate on the band.

"I love music," Hein said. "I hope I can continue playing long after I'm out of school."
THE WORLD OF SHOW business is nothing new for Hein. At 13 he was playing a guitar in Tulsa taverns. At 15, he formed his own rock and roll band to play for high school dances. During his freshman year at OSU he formed another band. In 1963 he left school for a semester and free-lanced with several groups in California.
AFTER GRADUATION in June,
Hein plans to continue playing
with the Flippers. He said the
future looks bright.
