Tachikawa Rock Festival and more...

First part is the FEN radio spot for the Tachikawa Rock Festival. The second part is a clip from The Soul Searchers & The Powell Bros. gig at the Yokohama Teen Club. The third part is a radio spot for the Grant Heights Teen Club where The Apple-Butter Blues Band was to perform. Thanks to Mike Murphy for the photos & poster, Bill Baldwin for announcing the two radio spots, Rich Miller for the recording of The Soul Searchers & The Powell Bros. band and James Hishinuma and Chofu HS for the band photos, Mike Skidmore for the Rock Festival article from the Stars & Stripes and me for drawing that really cheesy poster in the beginning of the video, that's how good an artist I was back then!

@yokota69

You were back in the World! That's much better anyway. Everybody I knew wanted to get back as soon as they could...

Was in Tachi during that time. I went to the Teen Club many, many times. I bet I attended at least one of your concerts. Great times!!!

Remember Mrs. Brown? She ran the teen club at Tachi. I thought she was really nice. She actually booked a band I was in at other teen clubs in the Kanto area. Great times indeed!

@usafbrat50 No I can't remember her. There are so many blanks in my memory It was so long ago. I wish I would have known back then how important my time at Tachi would be to me now I would have written everything down and recorded my time. But as you know as youth is wasted on the young. I wish I could go back in time.

You and me both! I'm glad my brother got into photography back then and also glad that Merf was there too. (He took tons of photos!)

Yeah, some of us were pretty stupid back then.
