A Look Back....                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     

Once upon a time,                                                                                                               
  There were five guys that worked together in the laundry section                                                  
of a tuxedo rental store in Detroit.  Four of us played a little guitar                                
and the fifth had a set of drums.  None of us except the drummer                                            
had taken lessons.  In the spring of 1967 we decided to form a
band.  After all, the Beatles were the big thing at the time and none
of them had taken lessons either, so we had a chance to make it
big too.  Well, we never did hit the big time, we played mostly
for college parties, but we did have a lot of fun.

                                                                                                                                 


 We were never happy with the name of our band and I think that we changed it about three times.  This is the last
      and final one that we used.  Custanzo L. was the singer, Dave P. was on the drums, Paul C. played bass,  
Dave R. played lead and I played rhythm and a little of the lead guitar.  We stayed together for about a year, until
  we graduated from High School and got other jobs.


                         That's me with my first guitar, a Sears Silvertone.  It had steel strings and built up
                          the callouses on your finger-tips very quickly.  I later went on to buy a Gibson
                        Epiphone Casino like George Harrison of the Beatles used.  I still have and sometimes
                        use it today.  It cost $365.00 back in 1967 but is worth quite a bit more today.
                         I didn't look too bad back then did I?
