In Memory of

Evan Groom

I was surprised to see Shock Headed Peter even listed.  We were a basement band of high school kids,.  We played like a half dozen school dances and a lot of keggers at granges and the like.

This band later morphed into “The World Orchestra” from about 72 to 75 and disbanded after that.
