Go on!!!!! Hey Dan, Very cool site. I was a student of Paul LaRose (The Bouys) my first year at the University Of Miami. He was great player & a really, really nice guy. Coming from a garage band the whole atmosphere of studying music at college was pretty intimidating, lots of egos flying around of which Paul did not have one. He was one of my favorite people there. he was so laid back. I knew he went to teach out in LA but had always wondered what had happened to him. I searched Google & found your site & was shocked to hear of his death in 1995. I'm truly saddened. Anyway........just wanted to say a few words. Rest in peace Paul. Thanks, Andy Most I didn't know Paul personally, but I'd also heard he was an exceptional guitarist... coincidentally, I bought my Farfisa and Leslie speaker from one of the Bretz brothers, also from The Bouys -Dan Name: Chris Butler Email: beezwax2@aol.com From: Hoboken via Cleveland Comments: this is BRILLIANT!

Do you have any pointers....thank you Rachel Name: Ron Email: rastra@ozemail.com.au From: Tanunda in the Barossa Valley, South Australia Comments: Hello People. I like to surf around looking at music sites! Last night I was looking at a site listing stuff from the Sixties (Australian stuff). I came across a listing for Tol Puddle Martyrs! Wow. Did this band not play at the Riverside Inn in Richmond (Melbourne)? I lived in Melbourne for 3 or 4 years in the sixties. We were regulars at the Riverside Inn. I remember the Tol Puddle Martyrs doing a great version of You Keep Me Hanging On from the inside balcony at Riverside. Phew! The stuff we would get up to. I had thought of the band over the years but I had no idea they had recorded. Thanks for the music. That period was the best in music history. I was 17 in 1963! How lucky was I? Great site...

Being a musician I have come to realize that I don't hear music as the regular population does.I call it the musicians curse....When I hear music I also hear each individual guitar lick, drum riff, Bass line, vocals all seperate from each other. I can always tell a musician when I talk to them because it's the same for them too!!!!Very Strange huh?? I hope you don't think I'm nuts but this is how it's been with me as far back as when I was a small child. Have you ever heard of this before??? Let me know Thanks Terry...... Name: Sam Pinto Email: lpinto30@comcast.net From: Troy, MI Comments: Man, did this take me back! I was a friend and admirer of "The Greenhalgh Band" back in the 60s.

Name: Steven Chase Email: chase5300@aol.com From: South Florida Comments: LOVE your site! I was playing from '64 to '69 all over south Florida witha band called: Larry Stang's Method, then later in Broadway Park. During the early '70s I played bass for many, many disco record acts that came from the Miami area. I was on staff at TK records, owned by Henry Stone. Didn't make much then...but ah-h such great memories. Today, I am still in the music industry making lots of money. But, nothing can compare to the fantasy and magic of those crazy years. www.miamibands.com Steven Chase, Miami Beach Name: Norman Nadorff From: Houston Texas Comments: Hey, incredible website. I will be sending my entry this weekend - Dueces Wild, St. Louis Mo. (1967-69). I'm still playing occasionlly for (low) paying gigs, but it's never been the same . . .Thanks for setting this up. Hi thanks for the great site. I entered my band, Hesitations from Detroit, Michigan 1962-1967...Thanks! I was checking out the other bands from that same time also in my city Detroit and I found "Zoo Pan" I think it was called. The name of the guy that supplied the data was "David Patrick Kelly" Reading his info I also recognized him as the actor of many movies. Is it possible to get his email address?? I would like to talk to him about the old days and being in a band in the Detroit area. Please let me know. Or you can give him my email address and let him decide. Thanks, Brian Handyside katbri6677@yahoo.com Name: Marty From: Chicago Comments: Kids today are too whimpy to survive the garage band lifestyle! And what a lifestyle it was.

Best Freddy http://freddyfortune.tripod.com/covingtons/ Name: Bill Stewart Email: wbeefstew27@aol.com From: Grand Rapids, Mi. Comments: West Michigan had several garage bands in the 60's which I havn't seen listed. One of the more popular Grand Rapids bands was : "Tom Carter and the Ramrods". Another was: Lawrence and Company. Both of these bands put out records. F.Y.I. Name: Ron Cabral Email: rcabral@astound.net From: Concord, California Comments: great concept you have going... There were so many bands that were good played some monster gigs but never got the big commercial recording break. There are some record companies in Germany that are looking for bands like this from the late 60's to early 70's to release any recordings they may have left behind... One of these bands was Gold - I call your attention to www.worldinsound.com/gold also check worldinsound records and prosecco all in Germany... Some of the visionaries in this field over there are Wolf Reuther at worldinsound - Miguel Rodriguez at Prosecco/Psycho-Sound, Raymond Dumont at RD Records and Mike Somavilla in the SF Bay Area... Keep up the good work and lets find those unknown bands that should finally be heard... It's like Jurassic Park of rock and roll - you'll never know what you might discover ....Looking for information on the whereabouts of the missing band Jungle... They recorded some great music and just vanished off the face of the earth... Please let me know if you know anything about them... They where last heard of around 1970 or so. May have recorded some tunes in the Bay Area but that is only an educated guess... The organ player sounds very much like the original Quicksilver Messenger Service keyboarder. The lead singer and guitar player may have lived in Japan... They are especially being sought by record companies in Germany... The listing on this website for Jungle may be bogus... Please help in the hunt for Jungle... Name: Michelle McFee From: Kentfield, California Comments: What a hoot this site is!

Name: Ken Bash Email: ken_bash@dell.com From: Redondo Beach,CA via Detroit Comments: What a gas to discover this site. I played bass in the Mushrooms with Glenn Frey, Bill Barnes and Lenny Mintz back in surburban Detroit in the 60's. Then Lenny and I hooked up with the guitar God himself, Donny Henderson from the Gang. We roped Doug Gunsch in, who aslo played in the Mushrooms and we were off and running. I remember practicing 7 days a week for a solid month before our first gig. Uncle Russ Gibb owner of the Grande Ballroom came out to my basement, heard us play and booked us as one of the house bands for the Grande, along with the MC5. We played the Grande Ballroom; Crows Nest in Royal Oak; Hideout in Clawson; Mother's in Tawas? The roller rink in Grand Haven. And, oh yes officer, I never touched Mickey. At least you can't prove I touched her. It was all Lenny's idea. I just saw Wayne Kramer, MC5 lead guitar player, at the Baked Potato in LA last week. The guy still plays great and writes very cool, weird songs. One was called "I Brought a Knife to the Gunfight." Gotta go. Keep this site going!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for the kind words Ken.

Of course, my Fave was the KMR II..but I also remember the Mastertones, Tim Tam and the Turn-ons, The Village Beaus, Frost, Anarchy, Tim K and the Polka Kings...(???)

Linda (Shodd) Roberts Name: Dave Wilbur Email: dave.wilbur@ingrambook.com From: Nashville by way of Memphis Comments: Where is Randy Copeland?? How is Freddie Wynn doing? Name: Susan From: Matamoris, Pennsylvania Comments: This is a great idea! I couldn't believe it when I saw SAVAGE CRIMSON listed. I went to PJ high at the time, though I was not in the same class as those guys. I even attended one of their practices with my girlfriend who had a crush on their bass player. They had a cute guy called Vinnie on drums then. It's weird that the guy who posted the information couldn't find guitarist Bill Mackechnie though, because he's all over the web and his cds are in every online store in the universe with his prog band Anubis Spire. SAVAGE CRIMSON actually was a pretty cool band and were "punk" before it was even invented! Too bad they didn't stay together. Name: Craig From: Southampton, NJ Comments: I love this site. When I found it I put it in my favorites right away. I love garage rock and I'm in love with this site. Now all these bands get to tell their stories. My dad was in a band called the Occasions (before the R&B group 'The O'Kaysions' of "I'm A Girl Watcher" fame came around). He played rhythm guitar. They were nothing big, just did parties. It's great, though, to know that my dad was in a garage rock band. I just bought the 'Nuggets' box set from Rhino. Garage rock is awesome! LONG LIVE THIS SITE!!!!!! Thanks Craig...get to work on Dad to submit The Occasions story for the site!
