One reader sent in this neat promotional photo of the Rice Paper Window, a quintet from Green Bay, Wisconsin. I don’t know anything about the group, who was in it or if they recorded. Anyone have more info?Thanks to Bob Degutis for sending in this and other Wisconsin band photos.
These guess we’re around in 1967-68
Blues band.
Lyle Leroy/guitar
Roger Downey/bass
Jim Feldman/Keyboards
Mike Crimmins/guitar
Joe Nelson/sax/vocals
I was one of the guitar players in this group. We played in and around Green Bay from about 1966-1969 when the group morphed into The American Dream. I left in early 1969 to serve in the Navy. Both Lyle and Joe passed away before their time and I think of them frequently. Both were the most talented in the band and wonderful friends.
We were a close group that loved to perform. Even though we played almost 50 years ago, I remember some of our great gigs in vivid detail.

Mick, I believe i stumbled across this. where are you?
Jay, I remember you well. After my six year Navy hitch, I settled into a career in banking. It took me to Idaho and 40 years in Montana. I retired last year and my wife and I spend our summers in Kalispell, MT and winter in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico. We have two grown kids.
How about you?
Mike aka Mick
Betty and I got married in May 1970, and moved to Cincinnati. I went to college for Data Processing (as they called it then) worked in systems design, programming and management for 30 years at the a large company. Had 3 daughters with Betty, and am still in the Cincinnati area. Working for a small tech firm now. Like it , will keep working until I can’t or don’t want to anymore. Married to Betty for 46 years. Go to GB several times a year. 50th Preble reunion coming up in 2 years. Interested? I think you are on the MIA list. would be good to see you. Lots of great memories.
Jay. Isn’t it interesting where life takes us. My email is mcrimmins@centurytel.net. It may be easier and certainly faster to communicate that was.
