Paige was
a 60’s
Beatles tribute band that was based out of Tacoma. The band was
led
by Walt Tetsloft (John Lennon). Ron Newton was Walt's longtime
and
faithful drummer, Kevin Hall played an 8 string Rickenbacher bass and
an
original Hofner Beatle bass. I sang all of the McCartney parts
along
with Walt, usually on the same microphone, and played guitar.
Paige
had toured exclusively in Canada for some time before I joined the
band,
apparently because their guitar player was Canadian and could not play
in the United States. The lads wanted to stay closer to home, so
they hired an American musician (Me). Beatles were our specialty,
right down to our Beatle boots, haircuts, custom made suits by Walt's
wife,
Vox amps, Rickenbacher guitars……you name it. We also started doing a
Paul
Revere & the Raiders show. The suits we wore for the PR&R show
were so stunning we would get applause when we walked from the dressing
room to the stage in single file fashion. The bands vocals were
impeccable.
