Village Sound Memphis, Tennessee 1965     Greg Redding leader, musical director and great musician at this time, Dan Redding (younger brother to Greg ) was a talented bass player. We all picked on Dan. Freddie, I understood, was trained in classical music and provided backup singing (Freddie too got picked on by all of us), Med was our 12 string guitarist, quiet and reserved but capable of partying, Randy Copeland was our adventurest member and the band clown until he got serious about playing. Dave Wilbur was shy thus the reason he was placed behind the other members when playing.   Personnel: Greg Redding - Organ Dan Redding - Bass Randy Copeland - Lead Guitar Freddie Wynn - Lead/Rhythm Guitar Med Phipps - Lead/Rhythm Guitar Dave Wilbur - Drums Influences: Groups at the time.
