Bands that played in Verdun


Do you recall the Band Soma they used to play at
Dawsons.

The song I remember from the haunted was 125 I
think.

" I was walking down the street on a foggy
night"

There were alot of Garage Bands around Verdun in the mid to mid+ 60's a few of Our members here were in some of those old bands,..... Alabaster Villa,....for one has been mentioned a few times,..Chapter's 3 (then I think 4, at one point),......, I can't remember all the names ,but I do Remember many different groups,............I need that old memory prompt,...(that's code ,for someone to tell me the name of other groups,..So I can say ,...."Oh Yea, that's right I Remember them")..........hahahahahah

Anyone remember Billy Barrett and Robert Asbury (???)  duet. They got a chance to appear on Perry Como Show way back 1959 early 1960's. At  least that is my recall.   Gary Mace SAANICH, BC   Valiquette/Moffat

Hey Gary of course I remember the GOLDEN TONES  I think thats what they were called.  Wayne Douglas was also a member of the group when it first started.  Met him at the Dawson Reunion in 1994.   Gloria

Gloria,   I wonder what ever happened to them? Did they ever go farther? Maybe someone will fill us in. They were considered to be very good.   Gary Mace Saanich, BC   Valiquette/Moffat

Wayne Douglas is living in Ottawa, I bumped into him while doing a consulting gig at Canada Post, and we had a coupla beers together. He told me that he hasn't picked up a guitar in 30 yrs.
