The first officer on the scene of Eddie Cochran's fatal road traffic accident in 1960 was police cadet David Harman. Harman started to learn guitar using Cochran's guitar while it was impounded at the police station. Two years later he became a professional musician, and had a number of hit records as Dave Dee, lead singer of the group Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick and Tich.
