We were all
students at Rumson Country Day School in
the mid 60's. We played the following
songs that I can remember:
Surf - Wipe out, Pipeline, Walk Don't
Run
Beatles - And I Love Her, Daytripper, 8
Days a Week, Norwegian Wood, Long Tall
Sally, I'm a Loser and many others
Stones - Satisfaction, Paint it Black,
Around and Around, As Tears Go By, Play
with Fire, and others
Others - Mustang Sally, What I Say, Shout,
We Gotta Get Out Of This Place, House of
the Rising Sun, Molly ( a local shore song
by the Motifs), My Generation, Pictures of
Lilly, You Really Got Me, Time Won't Let
Me, Kicks ( Paul Revere and the Raiders)
Many 3 chord progressions. etc. Typical
garage stuff.
We were better
than some, worse than most, we actually
made some money playing parties and beach
clubs. We blew all of our money on PA gear
and new microphones or amps. My stuff got
ripped of in 1967 and I went solo acoustic
after I moved to Wyoming

Randy Houser lives in Charleston SC, I have no idea where
the rest are. The one thing that I know has survived is my
Shure Unidyne III mike. I moved away from the Jersey Shore
in 1970. My only other real gig was as a Banjo player in
Shakeys Pizza while I was in Law School at the University of
Wyoming, Laramie, in 1975. I've been in a few pick up bands
and did a music video spoof of Cable TV in a band called the
"Test Probes" in 1985. I now have the following instruments.
Yamaha FG 250 6 string, Peavey Predator Strat Clone, NO Name
Tele clone - The infamous Part 0 Caster, a Fender Super 60
and a Blackface Bandmaster under restoration. I also have a
great MB250 Epiphone Banjo.
