Lawrence Miller (aka: Larry Turnquist) was the original drummer and played with the group for the first few years. I lived next door and heard them practice at Larry's house all the time, and watched them at a local church dance every week. He was a solid drummer with a steady groove.Graham Walker, July 2004
My old family name was Turnquist and I used to go by Larry Turnquist. Lawrence A. Miller is the name on my birth certificate and never officially changed when my Mother remarried. It is nice to see that somewhere there is still someone who remembers our old group!
I still have some music in my bones and in cycberspace. Check out the tune at ZED...

I remember seeing the Bitter Sweets at the battle of the bands at the PNE (Sponsored by Eric at Tartini's Music). I didn't get what they were doing at time but later I realized they were 10, 20, 30 years ahead of their time. What balls! If they came out now the punk rock world and MTV would have to "deal with them". They got some gigs that I thought we should have had so I went to see them at these times… very much like the early Stones. They were doing Go Big or Go Home!
