It came back undeliverable the first time, but haven't seen it returned lately! We went to an informal gathering for Rich Dangel of the Wailors who passed away recently and there were probably a few faces you would recognize. Next party will probably be the Wailors' New Year party in Tacoma. Please let me know what you think of the book.

Since '92, our high school band, "The Bandits", has been playing, with the orginal members ('58-'61) in the Spokane area.

I'm guessing he is since one of the credits for the web site information is Jerry Kinder. The Mike I knew had 2 older brothers, Jerry & Kenny and a younger brother Tim. He also had a hearing impaired sister named Joanne.

Press Release – December 3, 2002 From : The Fabulous Wailers, Kent Morrill, Buck Ormsby ….and more Richard Dangel
It is with profound regret that this message is one of deep sadness. Richard Dangel, our great and wonderful friend, sensational person, and one of the greatest guitar players in the world passed away unexpectedly. He was discovered in his north Seattle home by his close friend Charlotte on Tuesday evening after failing to answer his phone and door. Richard celebrated his 60th birthday Sunday December 1, at the Swiss Club in Tacoma, Washington, performing with his Butter Bean band with members Michael Kinder and Buck Englund. Several musician friends attended the event to jam with Rich and wish him a happy birthday. The group was in top form that night, with Rich playing as amazingly as always, and as
great as we have ever heard him. He will not only be sorely missed by his enormous family of musician friends, but by the world of music, his fans, and so many who have been entertained,inspired, and have learned so much from this wonderfully talented man.Kent Morrill and I feel blessed to have had Richard as our long and devoted friend. Luckily we jammed with Rich and the boys on his birthday. It’s been a long run, and always an honor to perform with Rich as a fellow fabulous Wailer. We are fortunate to have so many fond memories of Richard and his impressive contribution to the world of music, whether it was jazz, blues, rock n roll, funk, Rich knew it, well. He had so much more to offer. Rest in peace now Richard. We all love you.
Buck Ormsby, Kent Morrill, The fabulous Wailers

Did You Have A 1954-1979 NW Band?: Yes
Comments: The Al Neil Trio, of which I was the drummer and sound collagist from 1965-70, was the pioneering free jazz group of that era in Canada. It had a large following in Vancouver,putting on weekend concerts at the Sound Gallery, Motion Studio, Intermedia, the Vancouver Art Gallery, SFU, UBC and across Canada to Toronto, Edmonton and Calgary.In 1966 the trio played the Trips Festival in the PNE Garden Auditorium where they opened for the Grateful Dead, Quicksilver Messenger Service and Janis Joplin, who had just joined Big Brother and the Holding Co. The trio had a singular relationship to the rock bands of the era through a similar desire to do mixed media concerts, which later became the commercial light show. As a visual artist I worked in the Pender Auditorium Afterthought concerts with Sam Perry and WECO, his experimental projection group, conceived before the term light shows was used.
The trio has a double CD with 36 page booklet released in 2002 by the bassist of the trio, Richard Anstey on his Blue Minor records, available at www.blueminor-records.com

Comments: I found this site because I had been searching for info on a musician I knew in the 80's. Solo act. Scott MacGougan. Saw his name listed on a Rick Steves show and thought it would be fun to try to find out if he's still around. Didn't find him, but had a hoot looking through the list of all the bands I've known through the 70's, 80's and 90's. What happened to Dan Reed Network, Shots, Boy Toy, Zero D'Zero and Shock? Didn't see them listed. They were big at Pier 70, Parkers, Meekers and Montanas in the 80s. Clubs that don't exist anymore or have radically changed.
Thanks for putting up this site. It is nice to be able to click on these band's names, read their history, what they might be up to today, and remember the " good old days " in Seattle and in Portland Oregon!

Comments: i had lots of bands.The first under the name Alexys in 1966 and did the Coliseum(now Key Arena) with the Beach Boys , Sly and the family Stone,and a bunch of others. Other bands later on were: Peece, The Iris Hill band, Freefall. I performed at Dimetrio's first club called the Pioneer Banque, in Pioneer Square, under the name of Cookie Irene. I've as of the last three years been going to Europe (mostly France) in the summers and working at festivals over there. Great fun. I'm looking to hookup with some players around here for something fun. Vintage R&B is what they want overseas, but I've been recording Tangos , Bossa nova, samba etc., and gypsy type stuff with a bit of jazz for the last 6 or so years.

I am the Rod Garrity that is listed as playing a guitar player for the group. Just as a point of info the correct spelling for my name is Rod Geraghty.
Also the correct spelling for Jim Spano is Jim Spanos. Jim is now deceased. The band evolved over several years and to the best of my knowledge what you have listed is correct. How did you get all that history on the band?It is amazing what you have been able to compile.
The original four in the band were Randy Bennett,Dave Erickson,Jim Spanos and myself. Do you have any idea where I could locate Randy or Dave?
Thank you, Rod Geraghty

I worked as a bouncer for him during my High School Years (69/71) and remember Merrilee Rush playing at the old Columbian Hotel Which as since burnt down and is now a park. The last time I saw her she was in Augusta Georgia playing at a club. I was in the Army and some other GIs from Washington and I went to see her. When she found out we were from Washington she joined us for a drink during a break. It was a great night.

Gary Townsend could only play three cords and the other member that were listed didn't play in 1988-1996... I know I was married to one of the musicians and have all their memoribilia in Seattle. they were a house band that was ran by a Gary... You need tro find An American Band also known as Blue Frost out of Lynden 1970's band and Paragon from Boise in the 80's. Keep rocking.

Comments: I was the Fragile Lime's original drummer and was with them until I was drafted in April 1969. I have seen Mark Gallagher a few times over the years. Last I knew he was living in California and working as a cable TV installer while still playing an occasional gig with various groups. Tim Lee (organist) went on to work with the Righteous Brothers for many years untill they retired. Howard Wiebe (guitar) committed suicide in the early seventies. Bob Brannon (bass) is currently living in Arizona and I think he's selling insurance.
I have many very early photographs of the group as well as some of the early records.

Comments: I think Nick Ogilvie, the guitarist from Ph Phactor Jug Band, is about the most musical person I have ever played with. His knowledge of music history and songs is outstanding!!
He is a walking encyclopedia of musicology!! Also, Steve Mork is a talented jug player and very humble, kind person. It has been a pleasure to know and play with both of them. And, my cat likes them too.

Comments: From 1969 through its demise, I was in the Trolly aka Peppermint Trolly where I played bass and sang. Prior to that and until 1975, I was in other groups. The Lazers prior, and a couple groups after like Fat and Sassy, and Good Stuff. Fat and Sassy included Barry Puhlman (who died in 1982 while playing with Buddy Miles) on B-3, and Freddy Salem who went on to play with The Outlaws. Good Stuff included Bob Nixon on keyboards who directed music later at Bellevue Community College, and Rich Dangle of the Wailers on guitar. From the Trolly was Mike Langdon who is still teaching and playing guitar, and Ricky Johnson super drummer/vocals who went on to Epicenter, Burgundy Express, etc. After 1975, I worked as a single and duo with my wife until going back to school in 1978 and on to engineering in a well know airplane company where I still spend my days as a Chief Engineer. Really miss the old days at Parkers, Lake Hills, Pearl's in Bremerton, Tiffany's here and in Spokane, and numerous colleges and fairs.

Comments: Hi- I worked as the doorman at the Pipeline Tavern 1974-1975. Enjoyed see photos of Shyanne, Thin Red Line, Mick Flynn, Ron Gardner Group, and of course, Jr. Cadillac. The local bands played some real kickass rock and roll, while the rest of the country was going Disco-oh oh! Thought of another band Mountain Heath which rocked out with some solid guitars. Also I remember Rick Randle, but don't know who he played with. Oh, yeah and the flashy Ze Wiz Kids, and Sluggo. Before the club went into the big time blues circuit John Lee Hooker et al, the local NW bands just packed the place and rocked on. This was a great find while doing some work here in NYC. Thanks.
