First gig was at a
Catholic School end of school year party. Played at
a talent show at Becker County Fair, school dances,
street dances, local armories, Bemidji State
University. We started out with four members and
added an organ player after about a year. Jim Howe
was the musical leader of the band and would take
the records that the band wanted to play, listen to
them on a stereo and type out the words and chords
and make a copy for each band member. Personnel: Influences: Setlist
