Whatever happened to the caboose?
.Driving the pass of el cajon Traveling on my way back home
Y
ou see I live down Barstow way And drive this highway everyday
Out of the corner of my eye Caught a freight train going by
Winding through the steep terrain Slowly climbing up the grade

6 Diesels in yellow and grey Primary colors of UP
2 miles long, maybe more Creepin along the desert floor
Railroad cars of every size Moving down that main line
then came a very big surprise When the last car rolled on by

Expecting to see that cupola Red flashing light was all I saw
I guess I never heard the news What ever happened to the caboose?


Whatever happened to the caboose? A true friend, always there
Iconic last car on the train Pushed aside, taken way
It’s so difficult to see Them reliced now to history

All I know is now they’re gone never got the chance to say so long

So its good bye we bid ado Whatever happened to the caboose?
Still shocked and saddened by the news
Whatever happened to the caboose?

The Altar Billies are a trio from Orange County California fronted by guitarist/vocalist Michael W Stand. Rounding out the group are Johnny X on upright and Chuck Cummings on Drums. The group covers many classics hits, as well as newly penned originals.

For over 13 years the fellas have been featured at such venues as the Orange County Fair, Tustin Street Fair, Orange Street Fair, Fullerton Farmer’s Market, Silverado Canyon Concert Series, are regulars at the Downtown Santa Ana Farmer’s Market and of course a number of times at NAMM. They have also appeared at many clubs in the OC area – including the "old" Anaheim House of Blues, The Coach House and The Observatory.

In late 2010, the group released its self-titled CD “The Altar Billies.” This release was soon followed by other singles including: “Hold on,” “You Found me,” and their rockabilly version of the Christmas classic: “Joy to the World.” In 2013 the group released their most successful single and video to date: “I’m Still Stand’n.” .

Not to be complacent with the success of “I’m Still Stand’n,” Michael W penned a new song in the summer of 2013 titled “Ballad of the Big Boy” (Titans of the Wasatch). This tune paid homage to the biggest steam engine in the world (owned and operated by Union Pacific Railroad).

In 2014 the group released its first full-length 15-song project titled "Head'n out West." This musical venture paid homage to the "fore fathers" of rockabilly while also seeking to push the not so stated boundaries of this unique and underrated genre of music. “Head’n Out West” featured not only “I’m Still Stand’n,” and “Ballad of the Big Boy,” but found its swing with songs such as “Aim’n High” and “You Can’t look up, When You’re Look’n Down.” 2017 found the fellas hitting the trail once again with their latest release: “Long, Long Road.” With this project the group has downright narrowed and fine-tuned its sound so that it is “as sharp as a tack.”

Singles! Singles! Singles. From 2018 through 2021 the group released a myriad of singles including: “The Ballad of Ol’ Luce,” “Virginia Truckee Line,” “Great Big Rollin Big Boy,” and many others. In 2022 the group is releasing its third full length recording project titled: “All In.” This record offers up a size-able “helpin” of Swing, rockabilly and hot rod rock with all that is good about the great music of 50s and the incredible sound of Sun Records!

The Altar Billies are proud to carry the rockabilly torch and keep this musical heritage alive and relevant. They are 3 swell guys that work hard, play together really well and have a good time in the process!
