In Memory of

Michael Kinder

In addition to playing an Oregon, Reno, and Eastern Washington circuit, The Bill Pair IV played many venues in the Puget Sound area such as Scotty's Mod Room, The Players in Tacoma, and The Interlude in Des Moines,Washington. It's also interesting to note that after several decades of country and western music being featured exclusively at both The Elk Plain Tavern and Baldy's Roadhouse in Tacoma, it was the Bill Pair IV, in the late 1960s, that introduced rock and roll to those two venues. Both those venues subsequently rocked for many years.
