Billy And The Kids (Wenatchee Band)
The Chargers were an American garage rock formed in Wenatchee, Washington, in 1966.

The Ballad Of Billy The Kid
"The Ballad of Billy the Kid" is a song by American singer-songwriter Billy Joel from the album ''Piano Man''. It was also issued as a single in the UK backed with "If I Only Had The Words (To Tell You)." Artistic license The song is Joel's fictionalized version of the story of Billy the Kid. In an interview from 1975, Joel admitted, "Basically he songwas an experiment with an impressionist type of lyric. It was historically totally inaccurate as a story."
