This band was AWESOME, considering their young age and minimal amount of music schooling they had.  They worked well together, learned from each other, and had fun playing their music. There were times I felt that the neighborhood wouldn't survive, but nobody complained about "Louie, Louie" and "Gloria". We were all proud of the boys back then.
