Title: Old Bands
Post by: Da Wham on October 02, 2008, 11:28:24 AM
Anyone remember any old bands from the area like the Cardinals who cut a 45 titled "It Sure Don't Taste Like Tomato Juice"         :biggrin:

The Wrecking Crew was pretty popular in the late 60's.  I don't know if they got out past Pendleton or not, but they were hot down there.

I remember a Gerald Chambers that was in an Anderson band, but I don't remember the name of the band.

Not sure if they were from around here but I remember a band called Seven Seas.  I know they played in this area.

Then I know him. Saw him a few years back. I think he's still in the area and still plays once in a while.

That was Roosevelt Johnson and the Seven Seas. A real well known and popular band around the area. Used to play out at the Plaza Room out on Nichol Avenue in the early 70's and the 67 Club over in Muncie. Rosey retired and used to be seen riding his motorcycle around town. I think he may have passed on.

Thats one of the few bands that I really remember from back then because of the trumped player playing two at once.  I remember when he used to come to the blues jams at the bowling alley and I asked him about that band and he was amazed that I remembered it.

Rosey and I knew each other. I think they may have also played out at the Stardust on Broadway across from Shadyside park and maybe the Depot (the old train station on Fletcher down by 9th street) back in the 70s.

I remember the name, but I don't think I ever saw them play.

It was Skip, Ronnie, Rick, and a drummer I know but can't remember his name at the moment. Of course I could be wrong and the drummer was Tag.

How about the Tornados?     :rotfl:

It seems I remember that the rest of the band kinda "rode on the coattails" of their awesome bass guitarist.  :yes:

Dan still does the odd gig or two and runs Trish's music store. Steve repairs instruments and only picks his nose.    :biggrin:

I'll tell them to stop by here.

Hahahaha! I'll take that as a compliment, coming from Henry!

I must say, though, Wham, that we did "wow" them at Donnie's many many nights!
It was certainly one of the funnest bands I was ever in with you.
I thought it was hilarious that they eventually quit putting the name of the band on the chalkboard, and just put our first names up, "Paul, Tim, Rick, and Larry". We packed the house a lot.

One of my favorite jokes was when I'd meet someone and they'd ask, "Aren't you in Paul Kemper's band"?
I'd always reply, "No, Paul Kemper is in MY band", lol!

Is Paul still playing or did he give it up?

Last I heard he was in deep trouble and going to jail.

Paul and Tim always thought everything revolved around them.    :biggrin:

I get asked about Paul on a semi-regular basis. I also ASK people about Paul. No one seems to know what he is doing now, but no one thinks is is still playing music. If he is, he might be playing at the Pendleton Church of God.

As for his "trouble"...yeah, it happened. He spiraled down until he hit bottom. I've heard that he lost a lot of things: his house, job, etc. but I do not know that first-hand.

I did see him at a convenience store in Castleton last year. He looked good. we spoke briefly in line and that was that.

It was good seeing you last weekend! Hope you drop back by here and I see you again soon. Oh, and happy birthday!
