Eldoradoes With Lonny Guitar , Roger Bass, Trumpet, Sax, DB Green Sax, Don V Drums, Singer & Singer Gil T, Saint Petersburg, Florida, 1963

            Eldoradoes left to right with Lonny Walker Guitar , Roger Remsen Bass, ? Trumpet, ? Sax, DB Green Sax, Don Vosburgh Drums, ? Singer & Singer Gil Theivner, Saint Petersburg, Florida, 1963.  This photo presents a revision of the band as it expanded and improved.  The photo may have been taken at the Joker Club in Saint Petersburg where typically young adults over 18 years or age including college students from the then Saint Petersburg JC attended.  A few times when I was home on leave or liberty from the U.S. Navy I would play with the band for a few songs.  Unfortunately I do not recall the names of the trumpet player or the sax player next to him, nor the name of the red headed singer.  At this time the band was performing R&B, Blues, Jump blues, R&R, Soul & Jazz as the standard genre.  

Eventually the band in time became even larger with an additional guitarist being added, along with a Hammond organist and a couple additional horns with various singers thrown in along the way, including Larry Wetsky.  Eventually Mike Pinera (Blues Image "Ride Captain Ride" & Iron Butterfly) became the guitarist for the band for a period of time and his brother joined on Hammond too.  There is quite a list of musicains that went onto full time playing and professional careers that were at one time in this band.  The manager for the band was the drummer's Father, Big Moose Vosburgh, a real go getter when it came to getting band gigs.

Gee this was just like yesterday, but only 60 years ago.  LOL

The photo was a B&W image that I colorized.
