We were the first Rock and Roll band in Everett High School, and had a ball for all the three years we were in school.  It (the band) was probably the reason we all made it to graduation.

The top photo was taken at the Lake Stevens (WA) Junior Prom, in the Fall of 1959.  We were the first R & R band in Everett; even got "removed" from the stage at a pep assembly for "lewd" motions (DAMN YOU, Elvis!).

The Cherchers had a fun-filled reunion on 18 April 2009, and thoroughly enjoyed the fact that we were all still up and running! 

Three of us still play occasionally, but we all gave it our best shot in our living room yesterday.  No neighbors came down on us, no police were called in... we missed that.  What they missed was a burger & root beer float feeding frenzy.
