Ed Decko said... in response to Randy Foley


IT was,I believe,Randy,The Gigilo"all night jams" that which is caught in the folds of your mind.Where I recall,having braved the Ottawa Hills PD,one could well have seen the inspirational jammer-xcitr Dennis"pudgie"Gwynne,with his gold top Les Paul tryin to shred the speakers of a Plush amp.About that time he was with Yazoo and soon to be Art Attack.Also I recall the Cave on Sylvania west of Secor Rd.,how bout the Carousel I think that was on Central by Douglas.Did you remember Pork and Beans playin At 29 S. Erie they were there several times.They also played at JJ Reinhart's music store at Miracle Mile in the parkin lot.They played a major role in the clean up of the Ottawa Park ampitheater,long before the city poured the new stage,think that was spring '69.I think Tony Candela was with Blues Confidential in their prime.which was Pythian Castle time.You could see Them and Ruby Dee.Elan Vital.Midnight Apothecary,Allegion Fields,and then go next door and see Terry Cooper at the Country Palace.That's all for now.We should be interested in the road we've laid for our proginy to travel.

Does anyone remember a free concert at Joe E Brown Park in the 70's?

When I saw Ruby Dee at the Pythian Castle the guitarist was Rick Oswald , Mark Rosenburg was singing and playing guitar and I think the bass player was Larry Sheldon . Rick had the largest Kustom amp stack I've ever seen which disappeared and was later recovered by a group of his friends
