Froggy and the Gremlins from left: Mike Shields (organ), John McClusky (drums), Bill Thomason (lead vocals), Pat [surname?] (lead guitar), and Craig Gardner (bass) Our band started one Friday night in late 1964 literally in a garage in Vestavia, Alabama when I (Froggy) was singing while two friends were playing the drums and the guitar. The three of us attended Berry High School. The drummer’s cousin, Craig Gardner stopped by to show off his new Oldsmobile 442 and he listened to us perform a tune or two. The next day Craig called me and said that he and a few guys from Shades Valley High School were starting a band and asked if I was interested in being the lead singer. Of course, I said yes.
My neighbor was Ray Edwards, the lead singer with The Knights and the first time I saw them perform I resolved to one day do the same. This was my chance! So, the following weekend, Froggy and the Gremlins band was born in Mike Shields living room and the first song we learned was a cover of the Beatles’ “I Saw Her Standing There”.

Before long, Pat dropped out and was replaced by lead guitarist Jerry Meadows.
After learning a set list of about 25 songs we hit the road and were very popular locally in Birmingham and North Alabama. Venues consisted of many fraternity parties at the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa and in Birmingham, and teenage dances and sock-hops at local National Guard Armories around northern Alabama. We were invited to a Battle of the Bands at the Huntsville coliseum and placed third. WBRC-TV in Birmingham televised a weekly Battle of the Bands and we were matched against the late, great Rooster Gallagher and the Townsmen who I believe eventually won the entire competition later that year.
Pizitz Department Store in downtown Birmingham would hold regular dances and Go-Go demonstrations in the teen clothing section which was a brilliant marketing idea since it drew hundreds of teens (and their mothers) to the store. We played these events several times and once opened for The Swingin’ Medallions there.
Over time as all the other bands were adding horns and reeds, we added:
Bill Roberts – alto sax Mark Stevens – trumpet
I was also a trumpet player so we had a full, solid sound and were consistent with what was popular at the time. Also, we dropped the “Froggy” and were just “The Gremlins” to project a more contemporary and professional image.
Jerry Meadows was a song writer so like practically every other band on this site, the time came for our rite of passage in Ed Boutwell’s studio at an old church on 2nd Avenue North in Avondale. We created an eight-song demo tape of six cover songs and two songs that Jerry had composed. One was titled “Summer Girl” and the other one I do not remember. We had no money to afford a record press so we hawked the reel-to-reel demo tape around to several radio stations with favorable results but of course there was no air time since there was no vinyl to play.
Finally, in the fall of 1966 most everyone was leaving for various colleges around the state. I, on the other hand having primarily been interested in dedicating most of my time to The Gremlins rather than to high school academics, was shipped off to military school at Lyman Ward Military Academy in south Alabama. Thus, The Gremlins band officially came to an end.
Over the years, I saw Mike Shields occasionally at church and later heard he moved to Carmel, California and became an artist. I also occasionally saw Bill Roberts at the University of Alabama-Tuscaloosa when we were both students there. Ironically, John McClusky was the drummer for String and the Beans when they played at my High School senior military ball. He eventually became a lawyer in the Birmingham area. I lost touch with Jerry Meadows, Craig Gardner and Mark Stevens after our last gig in the late summer of 1966.
Regrettably, as the years passed and my focus turned to college, kids and careers, my copy of the demo tape disappeared. Several years ago, I reached out to Mark Harrelson at Boutwell Studios right after they moved to their beautiful new facility on Central Avenue in Homewood. He told me that had I been a year earlier they probably would have had the master tape but that after all those years they had finally purged the old archives in the latest move.
What an exciting time it was to be a teenager and part of the incredible ‘60’s music scene. Music has remained a big part of my family and these days even one of my college-aged grandsons is carrying on the tradition with a country music solo act.
Welcome to another posting of a series of gig listings for 1960s bands. None of these lists is exhaustive and my idea is to add to them in the comments section below over time. They are here for future researchers to draw on and, where possible, I have added the sources used, whether they are newspapers or websites. I have also added a few interesting bits of information and will add images in time.
I’d like to encourage band members to get in touch to share memories, or for anyone to send corrections/clarifications to my email:Warchive@aol.com
Equally important, if you attended any of the gigs below or played in the support band, please do leave your memories below in the comments section for future historians to use. If you know of any missing gigs, please add them too, if possible, with the sources.

Tony Noble arrived having responded to a newspaper advertisement and introduced his friend John Turner, with Ian Milne completing the formation.
The band played extensively at the Flamingo in Wardour Street in Soho, central London from late 1966 through to early 1967 and signed with Date Records, which issued a lone single – ‘Stop the Wedding’ c/w ‘Breakin’ Through’.

The musicians were also pictured, with a short article, in the Fulham and Hammersmith Chronicle, in the newspaper’s 17 March 1967 issue (page 4).
The Derek Savage Foundation continued to gig until late 1967 before splitting up.
We’d love to hear from anyone that can add further information below

This northwest Surrey band evolved out of The Black Arrows and featured two lead singers – Ron Prior and Graham Bradley.
Invited by Cyril Stapleton to record a demo recording at Radio Luxembourg in central London, the sextet cut two tracks, including a cover of Solomon Burke’s ‘Stupidity’ via Cliff Bennett & The Rebel Rousers (featuring Prior on lead vocals), but it was never released.
Prior and Tinkler subsequently joined Jeep Rongle in March 1966.

Former Highlights and Magnets singer/turned drummer put this band together in 1962 with Chertsey, Surrey-raised brothers Alan and Roger Smith.
Like Prior’s previous band The Magnets, The Black Arrows played extensively throughout Surrey, including appearing frequently at the Walton Playhouse (see 1962 on that entry).
Although The Black Arrows did not record, all of the members (with the exception of Alan Smith) stayed on when the group became The Legends (not to be confused with the west London band of the same name) in 1965.

Formed in 1960 by Virgina Water, Surrey-raised singer Ron Prior, who’d started out with The Highlights, a group that briefly included future Kinks drummer Mick Avory.
The group played extensively throughout Surrey for the best part of two years before Prior departed to form The Black Arrows.

I haven’t been posting much on the site. Lost my motivation, for several reasons, not least of which is U.S. support for Israel’s nihilistic genocide in Gaza.
Israel is a virulently racist society that treats native inhabitants with second-class citizenship at best (within the 1948 UN boundaries), and as “human animals” (Israeli Defence Minister Yoav Gallant) without any rights in the occupied territories. Israel subjects Palestinians to degrading treatment including torture. Don’t take my word for it, read any of the reports by Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, the United Nations, or Israel’s own B’Tselem rights group.
Before you say “October 7”, then please read one of the articles in Israeli media, among others about what happened that day.
My organization, Columbia County for Palestine, is hosting a talk next Saturday, March 22, 2025 at the Hudson, NY public library on Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions campaigns with Riham Barghouti and Rebecca Vilkomerson, at 3:30 pm. One focus is to “Break the Bonds”: to have New York State wind down the $340 million it holds in risky Israel bonds. As with apartheid South Africa in the 1980s, the aim is to increase non-violent pressure to reduce the violence and force democratic change.
Whether this is appropriate for this site, my explanation is this: I cannot celebrate US and western music but ignore the damage my country is doing around the world by supplying weapons, providing diplomatic cover, spreading lies, and silencing critics. The Biden and Trump administrations are both guilty of these charges; this is not a partisan issue.
“I don’t think I ever, in my life, felt the glare of racism burn stranger and more intense than in Israel” – Ta-Nehisi Coates, The Message

The Buck Rogers Movement, April 1968, from left: Karl Larson (Carl Larson), Beverly Rogers, Buck Rogers, Rod Trembley, Cynthia Trembley, and Bill Wanat
From Holyoke, Massachusetts, the Buck Rogers Movement cut three singles on their own 21st Century Records label in 1967 and 1968, then continued for a couple more years until tragedy struck.
The first mention of the band I can find comes from the Holyoke Transcript-Telegram on September 20, 1967, noting the group “formed only three months ago”.
The group is somewhat unusual in that it has two married couples within its membership: Roderick Trembley, lead guitarist, Mrs. Cynthia Trembley, rhythm guitar; Buck Rogers, sax; Mrs. Beverly Rogers, organ. Also members of the group are: Carl Larson, bass and William Wanat, drums.
Rod Trembley came out of a Chicopee band called the Del Vicounts, who competed in the Jaycees Western Massachusetts Regional band contest. Other members of the Del Vicounts included Tym McDowell, vocals; Pierre Provost, bass, George Barsalou, drums, and Michael Dubiel, rhythm guitar.
December 1967 shows at Mountain Park in Holyoke
The Transcript-Telegram ran a photo of the Buck Rogers Movement on April 25, 1968, with some inconsistencies in spelling from the earlier article: Buck Roger, Beverley Roger, Cindy Trembley, Rod Trembley, Carl Larsons and Bill Wanat.
It claims “Buck holds an exclusive song writer’s contract with United Artists.”
“We like the clean sounds of the Buckingham[s] and The Young Rascals,” Buck says.
… they find time for bookings like the Showboat in New York City and a two-week tour in Labrador. The group has appeared at Mountain Park, the Catacombs, and at every Hullabaloo in New England.
The article notes Carl was a student at Chicopee Comprehensive High School and Rod Trembley attended Northampton Commercial College.
signed by Buck Rogers!
Copyright registration lists Buck Rogers real name as Herman Joseph Rogers, sometimes rendered as “Bucky Rogers” or Herman J. Rogers.
Registration dates are interesting, as some are a year or two before the recordings:
June 25, 1965: “You’ve Got Me Hurting Again” Sept. 16, 1965: “Radio Station Commercial” Oct. 19, 1965: “Here I Go Again” Nov. 8, 1965: “Do Christmas Trees Really Grow?” Nov. 22, 1965: “Come on Home” Oct. 18, 1967: “Would You Believe?” Nov. 8, 1967: “Take It From Me Girl”
WHYN DJ Dick Booth informed me he produced “Do Christmas Trees Really Grow” at Audio Dynamics in 1967, but not their other records. At the time he was booking them in shows around Springfield, MA and Stafford, CT.
21st Century Records 601: “Would You Believe” / “Baby Come Home” 21st Century Records 602: “Do Christmas Trees Really Grow” / “Music to Watch Christmas Trees Grow” 21st Century Records 603: “Take It From Me Girl” / “LA”
signed by Karl Larson (not Carl Larson as news clips indicate)
H.J. Rogers wrote all six songs, publishing the first two with Trish Music, and Unart Pub. on the third.
“Baby Come Home” was issued twice, the second time with the title changed to “Baby Come On” which sounds closer to what is being sung. Note that the signature on “Would You Believe” is Karl Larson, not Carl.
There was some local radio chart action, for example, “Would You Believe” reached #8 on WHYN on November 11, 1967, and “Take It From Me” reached #9 on the WAIC top ten on April 13, 1968.
At some point, Karl Larson left and was replaced by Ray Mason, who had just graduated high school.
The Atlanta Journal had a report on February 24, 1970 headlined Sniper Suspected of Earlier Attack:
Twenty-four hours out of Albany, N.Y., the Buck Rogers Movement was awake, anticipating arrival in Atlanta where they thought they had a contract to play rock music in a midtown nightclub.
Harlan Cornelius, the bearded, 24-year-old guitarist for the group was working on a list of songs the group could do, and discussing his choices with the rest of the group.
Buck Rogers, 29, the leader, was driving his gold convertible south on I-85, and turned on the car’s interior light so Harlan could see his list.
About 60 miles out of the city, a car whipped around the group’s rented trailer and pulled alongside. A young man inside hollered, “Fink.”
“There’s your ‘Easy Rider,'” Rogers said, remembering how the two motorcyclist in the movie had been scorned and abused by people who thought long hair and beards repugnant … he turned away the insult, and held up the two-fingered peace sign to the pair in the other car.
The car, a black compact – he thinks a Falcon – with lots of chrome, and raised on its axles, slowed down and allowed the group to pass. As they went by, one of the youths gave a vulgar finger signal in return.
Later, Rogers told the Atlanta Journal Tuesday, they saw the car parked alongside the road, with its two occupants standing at its opened trunk. “When we saw them parked, we thought they were getting a jack handle or something,” the band leader said.
You’d be surprised how much aware we were that something was going to happen – we definitely knew they were looking for trouble.”
Shortly after midnight, they found it. Rogers saw the car approaching in his rear view mirror. “I heard the first shot, then as he drove past, I saw the kid with his arm out the window.” Through the glass of his rolled up window, Rogers saw the flash of the gun, apparently aimed at his face.
“Then Harlan said ‘I’ve been shot; I’ve been shot,'” Rogers recalled. His wife, Beverly, turned around and saw blood coming from the guitarists nose. “He put his hand down and said he thought they’d gotten his eye, but I looked at it and said No, it’s still there,” she said.
Rogers said the shot that hit Harlan came through the cloth top of the convertible.”
“I think the way America is today, that’s the way things happen,” Rogers said. “Those two guys started something, and they just had to finish it.”
Detective W. Tony Crook said the same sniper may have been involved in a similar incident in DeKalb Count a week ago, when a shotgun blast was fired into a car as a woman was driving on I-20 …
Meanwhile the group waiting Tuesday in Atlanta for their companion, who will be in the hospital for a while. The job they thought they had didn’t pan out, and Rogers said he may have to wash dishes or drive a truck until they get another booking.
The group had just returned from a USO show in Laborador and Greenland.
For all their concern about the future, they are still mainly concerned about Harlan.
“He’s an easy-going guy, and he wouldn’t hurt a fly,” Beverly added. “After he was hit, he kept asking if Ray (Raymond Mason, 19, the bass guitar player) was all right,” she said. Ray had been sitting on Harlan’s right.
Police are working on the theory that the sniper just didn’t like people with long hair, and the Buck Rogers Movement does, indeed wear its hair long. “It’s the style that’s in with the music,” Rogers said. “You just can’t look like Bill Haley and the Comets.”
But sometimes it’s not a good idea to look like the Buck Rogers Movement.
The Journal followed up on February 25, noting the epithet shouted at the band was either “fink” or “freak” and noting the assailants’ car was a black Ford Falcon, and the second shot “penetrated the front door of the car”:
The rock guitarist wounded on the Northeast Expressway by a sniper definitely will lose the sight of his left eye, his father said Wednesday.
Harry Cornelius, in Atlanta with his wife to visit their wounded 24-year-old son, Harlan, said surgeons at Grady Memorial Hospital have not yet removed the bullet which struck their son Sunday night.
The bullet [entered] the musician’s skull near the left temple.
Harry Cornelius said his son never lost consciousness during the ordeal, although the wound was painful.
The Corneiliuses are from Glenville, Minn., a small town in the southern part of the state that has about 700 residents.
“I can’t understand how this could have happened. We don’t have anything like that in Glenville. Do you think the ones who did it could have been on drugs?”
The Springfield Union ran an article about a benefit at the Paramount Theater tonight to help a fund being collected for Harlan Corneilius and the Buck Rogers Movement “which calls itself ‘The White Soul Group'”.
The bullet his lodged in his sinus passages, and doctors at Grady Memorial Hospital … were still undecided whether to remove the bullet.
The groups performing tonight … are The Fat, The Glass, and Sin.
On May 5, 2000, the Daily Hampshire Gazette profiled local musician Ray Mason who “spoke about the shooting: ‘I was asleep in the back, and I woke up to see our guitar player with blood all over the side of his face'”.
The Atlanta Constitution gave a summary of the events on April 4, 1970:
On the night of Feb. 23, the Buck Rogers Movement was bound for Atlanta for an engagement of a local night club.
They stopped for gas near Commerce, Ga., and as the car entered the expressway, the car containing the assailants sped around the musicians’ car.
The driver of the musician’s car, “Buck” Rogers, said he held up two fingers in a peace sign.
Closer to Atlanta, the group noticed the car again, this time parked on the side of the expressway, and the two occupants were standing beside the open trunk.
As the musicians neared the North Druid Hills exit on I-85, the other car roared up again and one of the occupants fired into the musicians’ car, hitting Cornelius in the head.
DeKalb County police said Friday they have located two prime suspects in a case in which a rock musician was shot in the head while in a car with other musicians while coming into Atlanta on the Northeast Expressway. But, the pair will probably never stand trial for the offense, officers said.
Officers said the suspects had been bragging about the incident in the Paulding County community in which they live.
Location of the suspects followed a month-long investigation by Detectives C.H. Staples and Tony Crook …
But the musicians involved couldn’t agree on the description of the car from which the night rider fired, except that it had round tail lights and that it was raised in the rear end, police said.
Identification of the suspects by the victim or witnesses is necessary in this case before any further action can be taken, police said.
The rock group, the Buck Rogers Movement, has left the metro area to fulfill other engagements. “They had to make a living,” said Smith.
The victim, Harlan Cornelius who played lead guitar has returned to Minnesota.
Although the group is noted as a sextet in these articles about the shooting, only four members are named: Buck and Beverly Rogers, Ray Mason and Harlan Cornelius. I suppose Ray Twombley and his wife had already left the group, and have not seen the drummer’s name listed.
An obituary in the Leader Press noted that Harlan Cornelius passed away at age 35 on October 6, 1981. It noted Harlan performed with the USO, managed the Carlton Stewart Music Stores in Mason City and Waterloo, and entertained with Gordon Lennevold.
Harlan Cornelius played guitar, co-produced, and wrote three songs for Gordon Linn’s album Wild Oats, and played guitar, lap steel and banjo on Mike Price & the Townsmen LP, I Found You Last Night (And I Lost You Today).
The Buck Rogers Movement may have broken up soon after the shooting, as there are no further notices that I have found. I’d appreciate more info or photos of the band.
My good friend Jim (aka DJ Small Change) interviewed me (pictured above) about politics and music for JasonCharles.net, and I made a short mix of Hudson Valley records to accompany it.
The mix features five 7″ ballads, an album cut by jazz saxophonist Nick Brignola, and an acetate – all recorded at Kennett Sound Studio. I also included both sides of 45s by the Dirty Elbows and the Teddy Boys because they’re Hudson Valley artists and sound right here.
Tracklist:
The Cleaners – How I Feel Riccardo & the Four Most – There’s a Reason The Kynds – So If Someone Sends You Flowers Babe The Dirty Elbows – I Love You Girl Teddy Boys – She’s So Sweet and Kind Teddy Boys – Don’t Mess With Me The Dirty Elbows – To Carry On The Cleaners – Walking Through the Fields The Villagers – Cry On Nick Brignola – The Mace

The Five Flys released their only single “Livin’ for Love” / “Dance Her By Me” in 1966. It was the last single on Samron Records S-104, and the only one with Coaldale, PA on the label.
Members included Rich Murlo, Tony Tonon, Steve Kucey, Skip Nehrig and John Gallagher. They were from the Coaldale area in Schuylkill County, like Angie and the Citations.

The Five Flys played local shows in Coaldale and Mahoney City in 1965 and 1966, and further away in Allentown and Bethlehem.
A report of an August 1966 show at St. Joseph’s in Summit Hill described “music for street dancing by the Five Flys”.
