    Just to add and update

    I was the keyboard player for many successful bans in the 60-70’s.

    Stated in Jr high with – Left Wing – with Dan Gerke (drummer at the Grotto), Dave Norman and Tom Rau – Guitars, can’t remember the bass payer.

    Then went to the Klansmen (yes spelled with a “k”) in 8th grand we won numerous Battle of the Bands, played coffee houses (Towne and Country comes to mind/along with the Boyfriends), and won the BofBands at Allegan County Fair and were then the opening act for the headline act, the Royal Guardsmen (Snoopy and the Red Baron). Played many college parties at Davenport and Hillsdale (remember we were only in 8th grade!)
    Klansmen = Gary Hagan – Drums, Randy Smith – Guitar, Tom Jones – Vox organ, Greg Billing – drums. Previous members were Dave Ross – Bass, Leo Najar – Guitar. Guitarist Dave Hawkins later joined the group in place of Randy Smith.

    in 1971 joined Albert Smith Group (ASG) as keyboard, jumped to the B-3 and piano.

    1973 – 1978 Ashes to Wind – OZZ

    Cool site! My bandmate Jay Fortier told me about you. You have my first band listed as “We Sandpipers” from Reed City. It actually was called “The Sandpipers”. I am going to put a package together for your web site.
    Talk to you later.

    Hammond B3 – “Bo White & The Bluezers”
