I haven't seen these guys since the late 60's. maybe we could get on Geraldo!
The only Bel-Air band that played Freddie Kng, I'm sure.

Personnel: Henry Spearman - Lead Guitar Scott Reuman - Rhythm Guitar Chuck Weiss - Bass Marty Rietzen - Drums. Influences: Surf & Blues Setlist Sample: San Jose by Freddie King Equipment: Henry: '55 Les Paul, ? amp, Scott: Rckenbocker solid body 12 string, Sears "twin twelve" amp. Rehearsal Space: My garage... there was a petition drawn up by the neighbors to stop us. Band Vehicles: Mom's cars Fashion Statement: Cordouroys, wing-tips, surfer shirts Best Gig: Bel-Air Hotel, barmitzfah, 1965...$50.00 gig. Some old drunk guy from the celebration came up to us and told us to play our best song and frkin' nail it! San Jose by Freddie King it was. We were loud, musically crude, and ready to rock. My mother had to fight with the family to get the $50.00. We were a disaster as far as they were concerned. We kept the gleem in the old drunks face for the whole set. Gig from Hell!: Same as above Last Gig: Same as above
