The Uncouth Youth? I think that was 40 years ago because I was in 9th grade when they played our tea dance at Marymount Secondary School. And the Spiders Web was a hoot, if only to see what Abby Weissman was wearing. The Brass Blues Band was in a class by themselves. We hung out with some very talented kids, long ago and far away. G Great website!

Anotehr 80s group was the Stankin Acts Band with Scott Helgans, Greg DiBella, Avery Hatcher and Derek Reymolds. The mostly playrd The Fore N Aft in White Plains and The Rising Sun in Yonkers. They were part of the Southern Rock Invasion that happened in the late 70s and Early 80s. Greg still plays in a band and Scott has like a zillion guitars, banjos, dobros.

"WOW! Thank you! "

I tried a couple of years ago to explore the Scarsdale library archives for the news articles covering the Spider's Web but couldn't. The Web sprang up in ' 66-' 67 and gave venue to The Overdue Experiance, and The Rythym Method (with Joel and Mace Freidman and other's) as well as many other bands that were younger but just as hot. I was one of the lead Go-Go girls with Marilyn Murgilo. Manny Rabelo and Jerry Parnell were the MC's, Mace was our Prez the first year and my sister Pam Moore was the artistic force behind our advertising. She and I painted the 30 foot banners that hung in the school halls and plastered the community with flyers. Pat "Max" Burg put on our light shows. Mel Marple headed up our stage crew. At our height we had 500 - 600 people coming to our monthly dances. It lasted less than 3 years before the Village Hall took over our bank account, but then we went underground.... Anyway, I'm in California now and would love if anyone was up to looking for articles that appeared in The Reporter Dispatch or The Scarsdale Inquirer between ' 66 - ' 69. Still love to rock, -- Joan Moore, class of ' 70

Hey this is an interesting website, .My guess is that no one in our class (1955) would will be of much help.....BUT the musicians in the class who did have a band, "The Sunspots" were Tom Putnam, John Freie, & Chris Smith. (Tom Hertel, the leader, died a good many years ago). Rock was just starting as we left SHS....Elvis was a name few people knew. Bill Haley's "Rock Around the Clock" had just made the scene in "Blackboard Jungle". Ya know we were grooving to Perry Como, Eddie Fisher, Nat King Cole, Doris Day, Dinah Shore, Tony Bennett (Remarkable that he's still going), Mitch Miller, the Weavers, and Hugo Winterhalter. Rock and roll was unseemly to the sophisticates of 1955.

All I can say is, WOW! I need to crank up some very unused brain cells to remember that distant past. That you captured some of it and others on tape is truly remarkable. No, actually what is remarkable is that any of this survived the many joints smoked and other substances taken only to be resurrected in our golden years. Of course, some may say that those were our golden years, but whatever I sure am curious as to how this project began and where are some of the cast of characters who were the performers. One last thought for today. I recall being at several parties where Rob Harper's band-The Overdue Experience- played music by the Stones and Kinks(?). I recall it being done well and the track that was less mainstream.

I fled Scarsdale right after graduating SHS in 1964, never to return. I was most surprised to learn in the flurry of emails leading up to my class' 40th reunion that Schwartzy was a rock n' roll hero in Sweden. Why not? I do remember one old friend, Ellis Disick, a terrific pianist, who I later heard had a band called Ellis D and the Sugar Cubes. It was a name I thought most fitting for the times, but one I never had the pleasure of hearing. I don't know if anyone has any pictures, or even remembers them, but the name alone rates inclusion on your site.

As I listened to the downloads from top to bottom I came to the conclusion that each of the groups had a different style and were influenced by different sounds. Correct me if I am wrong but to me: 1963 the year JFK was killed, The Del Rays were influenced by a California sound, perhaps the Turtles or the Jefferson Airplane. but neither or the Jefferson Airplane or the Turtles were not a commercially known group. At least not known to me until 64 or 65. My first drink at the Light. 1965 the year I turned 18 and got drafted into the Army. The Offbeats - a down and dirty British sound, perhaps influences by the Animals? 1966 - Me in the Army overseas until 1967. Overdue Experience - the Stones 1966 Blue Realm - I love the piano in the background, British, Animals sound, down and dirty, kind of music I would listen to with the aid of something other than beer.

"A walk down memory lane, Thanks!"
