Brett Marvin & The Thunderbirds had just released their second album when their pianist, John Lewis, presented them with a song he had just written on his newly-acquired accordion. "Sea Side Shuffle" sounded like a hit single but its upbeat summery vibe didn't fit with the band's trad-based blues purist identity. A compromise was reached and Sonet Records released it as a single in July 1971, crediting the song to Terry Dactyl & the Dinosaurs (the name possibly inspired by Marc Bolan's Tyrannosaurus Rex). It received some airplay on Radio One but it wasn't until Jonathan King reissued the track 12 months later on his UK label that it became a hit, and was only kept off the top spot by Alice Cooper's "School's Out".
When the Upland School District was established in February 1912, the first school building was situated about a mile away to the northeast of the cairn site. As the distribution of settlers in the area changed, trustees constructed a new building. The original school building was sold and moved two miles east where it was put on a new basement and turned into a private residence. It was later moved to a site on the Lido Plage Road where it is still used as a residence. After the school closed, the second building was sold and moved to Brunkild. It later became decrepit and is thought to have been burned.
