DOUG RETHERFORD, former lead guitarist of THE APPARITIONS from Kansas City passed away in November, age 65. Along with his bandmates Forrest Dieckman & Mike McNerney, DOUG co-wrote the mighty "She's So Satisfyin'", the demo-only nugget on Damon, easily the finest garage record ever from Kansas City. DOUG was very proud of the song &, according to his sister, would often play it for his unsuspecting co-workers. At his memorial, a wonderful treasure trove of DOUG's APPARITIONS memorabilia was on display, including several never-before-seen band photos. To honor DOUG's memory, it is suggested to crank "She's So Satisfyin'" at maximum volume & dig the musical genius of THE APPARITIONS!
