The band mostly did
high school dances from one end of state to the
other. We were discovered by agents that used us as
an opening act for regional and national stars at
some smaller venues in Michigan. The band was
booked 30 out of 52 weeks per years and as kids, we
were rolling in dough (for the early 70's).
