Johnny Kay
Johnny Kay (born John Kaciuban, 23 June 1940) is a guitarist from Chester, Pennsylvania. He is most widely known as one of the guitarists for the early rock 'n' roll group Bill Haley & His Comets from 1960-1968. After a brief audition, Kay was asked by Bill Haley to join his band, the Comets, in June 1960 when he was only 19 years old, replacing previous guitarist Franny Beecher, who had quit the band in order to launch his own record label. Kay left the band in 1966 as Haley's brand of rockabilly continued to decline in  popularity, but he returned in the early 1970s for an aborted world tour. He also appeared at the performance of Bill Haley & His Comets at the London Rock and Roll Show at Wembley Stadium, Wembley Park, London, England on 5 August 1972. In the film of the concert, Kay can be seen playing while wearing a pirate-like eye patch (he was recovering from surgery at the time).
