Ray Manzarek of the Doors replaced his Vox Continental after two and a half albums with a Gibson G101, ( the G101 was first introduced as the Kalamazoo K101). Other combo organs from back then included a two manual Gibson G201 and Lowery T2 (which were identical other than name and trim) and a...

So So many in '60s bands were young, the drummer and I in the Wild Ones were only 15 when our 45 was made. Clyde

While I can say I liked the DC5, I went to their live show here in Richmond, VA in the mid '60s and the show was completely stolen by the opening act........ Mitch Ryder and the Detroit Wheels. After Mitch and the Wheels were done, the DC5 was an anti-climax. And the bands I was playing in at...

I can say that the second band I played with in '63/'64 definately played the heck out of House of the Rising Sun, other bands I played in after that did it also, but not as much. Good Loving by the Young Rascals was another one that got a lot of play by local bands back in the day. And then...

The band I was in that released a 45 in the mid '60s practiced in one bandmember's garage about 95% of the time. Another band I was in after that also always practiced in a garage, a later band practiced in a vacant apartment that a fan's father owned. Practice venues varied a lot in my area...

I understand, it is far easier to rant than to make an effort, if that's your attitude then so be it. There are I'm sure many, many old rockers that don't have a clue that their efforts from many years ago might be appreciated by someone today. I'm also happy to see some of the music...

I'm only going to say that your rant in the quoted post is IMHO totally out of place. You have no idea what has or has not happened in these peoples lives and if they even have the knowledge and/or capability to get their old tunes out. As well, I'm not sure how many of us "lazy-ass old rockers...

Congra Congratulations Tom!! Always great to see musicians from back in the day get some recognition. Clyde

I have had a little sucess recording a 45 to a Yamaha MT2x or MT3x multi-track cassette recorder using DBX noise reduction, while it did not eliminate the hiss entirely, it certainly made it less noticeable. You have to be very careful wiith the amount of DBX used, too much and like others have...

Back in '62 I was in my first band, we practiced a lot but never played much, did a lot of Beach Boys and the like. Later in '63 I got into my second band, much better song selections for my taste like Beatles, Stones, Herman's Hermits, Searchers, etc., that second band led me to the Wild Ones...

I just watched a video the other night of Chester Thompson (the keyboardist, not the drummer) with the Chester Thompson quartet where he had three, count em, three 122 Leslies lined up behind him and the drummer. BTW, very nice job on those photos, I like seeing those old band pics. Clyde

And I guess sometimes people contact you, I know that's what I did. I was doing searches on the internet looking for info about one of the bands I had been in (trying to locate some of the other members), while doing this I ran across the Garagehangover site and spent quite some time there...

Lung cancer can be overcome, my wife is now almost 11 years post-op from lung cancer. Clyde

I had a number of files on 4shared, some were synthesizer files that were my own creation, some were owner's manuals, service manuals, schematics for synthesizers that had their active manufacturer support dropped long ago, and some were simply miscellaneous articles usually from very old...

It's a shame that there are so many complaints about copyright infringement, so much of this music would be essentially lost except to serious collectors if everyone stopped posting sound files. I've heard all of the arguments for and against posting sound files, but it is still my opinion that...
