The band played around Seattle from about 1971 until 1974, hometown White Center, WA.They were a tribute to fifties rock bands with MAJOR show stuff, costumery, stage skits, female dancers, Clark Kunt, Superman, the obligatory greaser, glittered guitars (glitter everywhere) gold lame` jackets etc.This was a group the audience could not take their eyes off of. Shows were a conglomeration eye-candy, musically enhanced skits, choreography (pornography?) and non-stop stage action punctuated by some of the finest vocalists in the area. Heavily influenced by show bands of the era such as Sha Na Na, Ze Whiz Kidz, etc., they were crazy, insane, very fun and even shocking to some but always gave the audience a night they would never forget.

I played with "The Bean Barry Delights" for a very short time. The band attempted a comeback in fall of 74 with less glitter, less singers, a new guitarist (Stan Knoblich), and a new drummer (Mark Hotton). We played several gigs and had short-lived fun but the band just wasn't the same and fizzed out.Mark Hotton, February 2005
Duane "Super" Cooper passed away December 18th from a long battle with heart disease. He is the one in the Superman outfit in the photo at the top of this page. Duane went on to become a singing bartender and comedian here in Seattle and was well paid and often in demand for singing engagements. He had a wit, humor and generosity equaled by few in this world and will be surely missed.Kevin Fawcett, December 2008
