Surprise, surprise - idle chatter about TBM

Same label and "Hard Acre" publishing as the Bare Facts "Instant Happiness". Several Hard Acres (Bare Facts, She and the Dutchmen, Hallucinations, Bill Hoffman, and Tommy Payton recorded at a forgotten Michigan City (IN) studio.
Do you happen to have an address for that studio? I’m in Michigan City once a year and I‘d like to see if the building is still standing.
 
For the five people who cares about this trivial stuff:
Freedom Five were based in Riverside, Illinois - not Oak Park
The 5 (on JB) were based in Slidell, Louisiana - not Mobile Alabama.
Deacons (on Camelot) The song title of 45 was "You Can't Get There From Here". Label misprint.
A Chicago locale for The Uncivilized is confirmed.
 
Dan Fogelberg played on the greatest Garage 45 of all-time, that's almost impossible to believe!!!
I think Dan was still in the Coachmen at the time of the recording of Short Time - after they disbanded he "performed briefly with a group called The Noblemen" (https://www.roadtorock.org/artist/dan-fogelberg/) before meeting Irv Azoff and starting his solocarreer with some fantastic albums (in my humble opinion)
 
Accroding to the Fogelberg fan group The Essential Dan Fogelberg, Dan is the dude top right.
So he could possibly have been a core member. The only band member, AFAIK, that has been revealed before
is tunesmith James Pearle.
 
That info is Inaccurate

The Noblemen were from the University of Chicago.
I contacted the three main members who were involved from start to finish many years ago..
Dan Fogelberg was not in the group that recorded the songs released on Orlyn. He lived in central Illinois, ansd was with the Coachmen
The only member Jim, Neal and Case could not recall was the drummer as they changed drummers a few times. They would have certainly mentioned Dan Fogelberg to me when I spoke with them.
The Noblemen only lasted perhaps 6-9 months (late '65 to summer '66). Neal went off on a folkie binge and recorded with another group that had a 45 on the Milwaukee PKC label, as Dr. Cuddly's Prescription (I think, from memory). Jim graduated, Case as well.
 
I'm sure you are correct. Jim Pearle is a hot shot California doctor now, and I wouldn't bother him with this in 2023...

that's more like it
 
The BFTG notes are semi-correct, Jim Pearle did play in the Marauders, a Univ. of Chicago campus group. I've got names buried somewhere, no recordings other than perhaps a rehearsal tape - no one knows where it might be.
Neal Gladstone was a folkie prior to joining Jim, I think Case played in a different group than with Jim.
None of the three guys were from Illinois as well.
Anyway, as Tim would say, the Noblemen songs were cut in mid April, 1966. The 2nd press / louder mix "Short Time" was a remaster done at RCA custom in July. No one knew anything about this when I spoke with them. As I said, memories were scant as the group was not together that long.
Neal got a job working as a camp counselor in Wisconsin in the summer of 1966, where he met Kristi Cuchler. They joined with Neal's U of Chicago guitarist Jim Haydon and became a Peter, Paul & Mary style folk trio w acoustic guitars (Neal wrote the Noblemen B side ballad, "Jeannie" so you can hear the folk vibe on that track). As Trois Amers, the trio played ive on a radio station program hosted by DJ Phil Klingler, he soonafter invited the group to record for his PKC label. Phil changed their name to Dr. Cuddly's Prescription for the first 45 in 1967. A 2nd 45 was released in '68 (info gleaned thanks to Gary Myers' On That Wisconsin Beat book).
