Plain Brown Wrapper was a lat e'60s/early 70s rock band based out of Lansing, MI.
It featured members of the Lansing band The Plagues - and the Flint band Zookie and the Potentates.
featruring: Scott , Phil, Jim, Steve and Van from The Plagues. Gary Story from Zookie and the Potentates. Dave and Rick from various MSU campus bands. Chuck from The Crestwoods, "The Royal Rockers" and "Jack and The Spades"
Despite their efforts to re-write Mid-Michigan music history, these cheesy, talentless little fakes got no place despite heavy self-promotion. Rather than being THE Mid-Michigan music scene, "Plain Brown Wrappers" were the joke of it -- shallow, modish Monkee-clones from the 'burbs. Their jumping on the garage-band bandwagon does not excuse their lame, non-musical pablum. Musical talent of the time and place showed up mostly in bar bands, with true local greats like Bill Boehmer and Jack Sova.

Dr. Van Decker was my music teacher/band instructor in high school in Encinitas, CA. He taught me a lot.
