The Bomarks Indianapolis, Indiana 1966-1968

I got a call one night from Jim asking if I wanted to play drums for them. I said sure. Joined up with Jim, Dan, Judy, Dave...we played colleges, parties, wherever we could around the Indy area. We auditioned at Le Scene Thanksgiving night 1966. We went over big and became far and away the favorite band there. Jim could make a guitar do anything he wanted it to...well versed in all types of music. Judy was very good on bass and Dave was solid on rhythm guitar. Dan was a mix of Jagger/Dylan/Morrison and I was a very accomplished drummer who lived and breathed playing. Very unlikely bunch but a very good group.   Personnel: Jim Benge - Lead Guitar, Vocals Dave Prince -Rhythm Guitar Judy Cagle -Bass, Vocals Dan Bradburn -Lead Vocals Bob Goodson -Drums Influences: Paul Butterfield Blues Band, Muddy Waters, Stones, Rascals Equipment: Jim - Fender guitar/amp Judy - Fender bass/Bassman amp Dave - Guild guitar Bob - Gretsch drums Rehearsal Space: Dan's basement Band Vehicles: Judy's old Plymouth, assorted vehicles of band members Fashion Statement: Brown shirt w/blue polka dots, brown vests and jeans. Best Gig: Le Scene on Prospect Street Gig from Hell!: Jolietsville, IN Last Gig: Can't remember Comments: There was a disagreement between Dan and Jim on what kind of music we would do which eventually led to the breakup...had it not been for that we stood to have really made a mark on the local music scene.

Jim works for Anthem Ins. in Indy and after the Bomarcs went on to play in some very good bands around Indy. Dan still lives in Indy. Lost track of Judy and Dave. Bob went into Navy in 1968. I didn't play with anymore bands but I do still play drums.
