Roger would play with our band occasionally, Eddie Fisher was our drummer when our band regrouped after being decimated when Mark Abernathy and Bill and Rel Bushnell graduated. By the way, the Farfisa was my keyboard of choice then.<br />Frank Livorsi Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4990596428793472494.post-30537528360814896392015-01-20T10:07:59.542-08:002015-01-20T10:07:59.542-08:00Roger Vail AKA Dr. Longhair playing in 2 bands out...Roger Vail AKA Dr. Longhair playing in 2 bands out of Princeville, Il Jan 2015<br />rlv100@ frontier.com Lives in Wyoming IlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4990596428793472494.post-33628529215935090932013-06-10T15:23:44.415-07:002013-06-10T15:23:44.415-07:00Rona,

The only bands I remember hearing at CLCHS were The Bleach Boys (Bill Gronow and some other guys, all wearing bleach blond wigs and singing surf songs in 1965) and The Burgundys(Burgundies?) (Craig Knaack, Jack Odell and others). Those were the days!<br /><br />I feel funny posting this right after Curt (Ace) Esser's posting of February 15, 2013, considering you and I were both at his memorial service yesterday. I really enjoyed looking at the album full of pictures of him playing his guitar in his younger years. Take care and keep on rockin'!Bob Rosuleknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4990596428793472494.post-66831362166965534692013-02-15T07:29:57.222-08:002013-02-15T07:29:57.222-08:00It's me, Ace.

For some reason this site never lets me post as anything but Anomonous....<br /><br />Wow, this band history really takes me back.<br /><br />I remember seeing you play with most of those bands - and that's something, considering that most of that time span is somewhat hazy.<br /><br />"Hope I die before I get old!"

I was browsing and got to wondering whatever happened to Brillo and the Firebirds, believe it or not. So I Googled it. Anyway, long story short, it lead to me to wondering whatever happened to Roger Vail, and lo and behold, it popped up. The Vectors, the Remaining Few, Fischer, Cooler, and Rona. Seems like a million years ago. How about a little "My Generation"? Loved you guys doing that song!

Wh...Wow Rona I remember Micky Cox's party too. <br />When we played together the band was called Aristotle and the Aminal Crackers. Because of copyrights Animal was intentionally misspelled. They were a New York band Tip had seen. I left because you guys wanted me to play bass and you were talking about trading in your gear for new Vox stuff. I already had a Fender Jazzmaster guitar and a Bandmaster amp. That's when Tim joined and Tip switched to bass and you guys became the Remains.<br />Ironically I joined the Pack with Mike Walkup in the summer of 66 as a bass player. We sucked but worked a lot at high schools in Boone and Dekalb counties. We were union and made scale, lots of money in those days.<br />Anyway those sure were good times.james Pennebakernoreply@blogger.com
