The Cavaliers, Mesilla Park

THE CAVALIERS- The Quiver (Gum 1004)

In the early 1960s 'dance' songs were all the rage. Everyone needed a dance song to stay up with the times. Las Cruces's Cavaliers, led by Lloyd Nash, joined in with their greasy "The Quiver" on this fall of 1962 release on Mesilla Park's Gum label. While Gum publishing can be found on a number of discs from El Paso, Mesilla Park, and Las Cruces, the Gum label itself was short lived with only 4 known releases, and two of those coming from the Cavaliers.

And while we're at it... Gum was the publisher for Frank Gonzales and the Palisades's contribution to dance craze, "Dance to the Palisades".
