1968

I was a member of a Spokane rock group that played the Northwest area for about seven years.

We started in 1966 as The West Coast Boys, and then in 1969, we added a girl singer and changed our name to Daybreak.  We were voted the best rock group in Spokane, couple of years running.

We performed all thru the Inland Empire; at such spots as The Rock, Ratskellers, WSU, University of Idaho, Spokane Coliseum, Tiffany's, SCC, Canterbury west, U of Montana, Whitman College, etc.

Our booking agent was Virgil Smith and then later, Cliff Berger of Universal Systems Analysis in Spokane.
