Tom's
voice sounded like Mick Jagger, I
sounded like Mark Lindsey....Mark
looked like Paul McCartney (still
does)....
The group evolved to become the
Warlocks (I left); a guy we
called Skeet became lead singer,
a new lead guitarist named Ray,
and Tom became the rhythm
guitarist, with Kerry still on
drums...a guy named Chuck Nagy I
think eventually became the
drummer...
Mark went on to play bass with
Mitch Ryder.

Statement:
None
really - we did wear Rat Fink
hats at one time that we made
from old fedora's that we dunked
in boiled water, took off the
bands, and pulled them hard down
over a broom handle to give them
peaks...weird but
true.

Comments:
In the 1970's I
played on the streets of Georgetown, DC and once at
a club called Columbia Station in D.C., Kerry
played more, once with Ted Nugent, Mark like I
noted before...I last saw him playing at the Bayou
in D.C. as Mitch Ryder's bass player (around
1984)...Ray (lead guitar of the Warlocks) worked
for Grinnel's Music Store in the Detroit area....my
only real claim to fame is that I'm given thanks on
the credits of a new double album coming out
October 99 - "An Evening with Jimmie Spheeris" -
see the Jimmie Spheeris Memorial Gallery web site -
great CD!!!!
