The Lost Souls
Elon College, North Carolina

1966-1967
 

We played mostly in 1967 after we had all played in other bands. What we lacked in musical ability we made up for in desire and energy. We played some paying gigs (made$25 apiece one night) and our pa only cost $80, so that was pretty good money. Broke up when we left for college. Reformed in 2003 when we rediscovered each other via the internet.

Comments:
Sut, where did you get the name the Lost Souls"? We got it off "The Island of Lost Souls" an old horror movie. We played all soul music and that is what we're doing now. Got the band back together in 2003. I never expected the band to reform. It's like a miracle to me. They are all still my brothers!
