Originally Skokie, IL. Currently in Oregon

Trying to piece together the history of our band with the name that has been used by other bands as well.

DesPlains, IL

Great to see so much history in one web site!
I remember the era when you could stroll up and down your neighborhood
streets following the sounds of the bands rehearsing in the garages.
It was a magical time to be a kid!

Knew George when we were kids. Saw his note on St. John Bosco\'s site and came here. WOW...didn\'t know you accomplished so much with your music. I\'m very happy for you. Sounds great.

Watching you at the block party now. Sounds great, love the song choices!

Looking for great old Chicago groups

Chicago

Drummer is awesome. Sounds like Krupa.

Stephen,

Good to meet you both yesterday when I measured for your new countertops. It\'s a pleasure meeting another musician! Thanks for the tour of the studio and sharing some of your time and stories. I greatly enjoyed it.

Chicago

Thanks Steve for your help with my research on the Beatles and the music scene in 1960s Chicago. I too think that The Girl With the Long Black Hair is a classic and I wish you all the best in the future.

I was invited to a \"old\" neighborhood dinner party and was reaquainted with a friend from the past, George Hancock. We reminisced about our teenage years and talked about many things including music. At 14, I was in a garage band and thought it was the most exciting time of my early years. When George told me about his band it rekindled those magical moments. When I heard about his website I was very impressed. It is well written and details the band\'s history. Music has such a very important role in all of our lives but to have been able to perform in front of people that also enjoy your talent is an experience only few can understand. Kudos to you George and all the garage bands that have had an opportunity make \"music\".
