I got an amazing surprise yesterday and decided to share it here as we have so many music fans. The story is that my HS band decided to play a gig as a going away party for a classmate - her folks (in that era probably her Dad) got a job closer to the Detroit area and they were moving from Milford to (IIRC) Farmington Hills. Anyhow, we did the gig in her folk's basement and she just recently came across these pics that her brother took in October of 1964.
This was the full band including a buddy who was trying to learn the bass at the time. I'll let them remain unnamed (though I know all their names) as I don't have permission. The tall blond guy in the front center played lead and sang beautifully and went on to do some things in music though he eventually made his living in education.
I'm pretty well obscured in this shot - even little brothers are drawn to the guitar player. But that IS me on the drums.
And a side shot. Again, her bro was not out to record me for posterity but it's a great drumstick action shot.
I can't tell you what a joy it's been for me to get these pics. An old man reminisces......
