from Del Courtney, 95; Former Music Director for the Oakland Raiders - Los Angeles Times:
As music director of the Oakland Raiders, Courtney led the band that performed during halftime shows from 1975 to 1978 and formed the Raiderettes. When Courtney was struck with the paralysis-inducing Guillain-Barre syndrome in 1971, Raiders owner Al Davis visited him frequently and told him, 'You're a Raider. And Raiders don't die,' Courtney told The Times in 2003."
