1965-1967
 

The 3 of us brothers got together to discuss getting together a band shortly after the Beatles and other British bands made their scene in the U.S. We all had jobs but couldn't afford the best equipment so we settled for whatever we could get that sounded good. We practiced at our homes or the homes of friends in the garages or sometimes inside depending on the parents whereabouts and acceptance. As we graduated high school one by one we went into the service and then went our own ways.

Where are they now?
Winter, 2004

John (the drummer) lives in Henderson, Nevada, and is disabled with M.S. Jerry (the guitarist) lives in Midwest City, Oklahoma and still plays guitar, finally affording a Rickenbacker guitar and Vox amp, could have used it back then! Phil (the bass player) lives in Colorado Springs, CO and is a retired school teacher.
