Groovy. Wonder if any older TB members will find themselves in one of these photos. |

My own backyard has a similar site in the same vein, although the time frame is not limited to the 70's Trenton Makes Music
Just one small sample:
Duke Williams and the Extremes 
BTW, Haven't heard anything about Duke Williams (far right) in ages, but Paul Plumeri (far left) is still around and gigging regularly - he looks a lot more like Jerry Garcia now

The other part is that, after MTV, you generally needed to be pretty to get a shot at a wider audience, although with enough promotion an ugly band could still score a pop hit (Genesis had several in the mid-80s, but they were an already-established act). All-in-all, the popularity of MTV made music a visual medium first and an audio medium second. |

| | | Wow. Frightening and amusing. Gives "What Duck Done" a whole new meaning.  Note to self: Congratulations on your long standing rule of refusing to pose for a "bio shot".
I've got an appropriate name for this band:
Handy and The Servicemen. |
