Mother Superior 1968-1970 Tokyo, Japan

Band in Japan formed by Air Force guys which later me and my brother joined. Pics are from Expo '70 Osaka, backstage with other performers like Alan Merrill & Rockpile and The D'Swooners. Rehearsing at the collegiate club at Tachikawa Air Base and band portraits of one of the versions of the band with Carl on drums. This was one of the bands to open for the Gary Lewis & The Playboys concert in '69 in Tachi. Song titled "Belgiumtown Road" was written by bassist Bob and recorded much later by Maelstrom in Atlanta.

I went to Yamato High School from '65-'68 and played in a band until coming back to the world in '71. Thanks for your comment!

You're a little bit older than I then.

I was born in 62 but have been here since.

Actually, i still live in Tokyo, in Higashi Kurume, near CAJ

I used to live out in American Village in Tachikawa and frequented Yamato and the train station, Tamagawa-josui when I was a kid. If you haven't been back, the place has changed quite a bit. There's a monorail that goes from Shinome-kaido thru Tamagawa josui thru Tachikawa station, all the way to the Tama zoo and beyond into Sagamihara area now...
