Brief History
This was another of those strange little bands.
We weren't very good, but it didn't seem to matter. We worked continuously,
although come to think of it, it was only in about two or three places.
We spent most of our time at the Sterling Lounge in Lake Park,
Florida, where I met a really nice girl named Patty. I
saw her again briefly, years later, but I don't know what ever happened
to her after that.
Steve Hatch was a queer duck. I still
don't know exactly where he was coming from. After we couldn't stand
him anymore we fired him, or maybe he quit, I really don't remember. Bradley
Peed was another character, but in a good way. He was kind of
like the mild-mannered type who would, under the right circumstances, transform
himself into a wild man. Very interesting. Jim Tolliver
was a real nice guy. He was self-conscious about being so much older
than the rest of us (He was 31. Ha.) Bill Gent (see Bacchanalia)
joined the band for a while before we broke up. I don't know whatever
happened to Brad, Jim, or Steve.
The band played all sorts of weird stuff.
I remember The Grateful Dead and Deep Purple. Quite
a combination.
