A band that we saw way back Before they had any hits,, before they became Famous...
They would play at The Chance - nearly every month,, and maybe more ofter than that. The Band was John Hall, Larry and Lance Hoppen, and Wells Kelly.. Played much of their own music,, and always did Beatles songs as Encores. Good Times.
John and his ex Johanna wrote many many songs,,, that were covered by others,,,, Janis Joplin included Half Moon on her LP Pearl ,, Give one Heart recorded by Linda Ronstadt on Hasten Down the Wind...
John and Wells would change places with John playing the drums, and Wells on lead guitar,,, he did a song BUM... and others,,
Wells died in 1984,,, drugs and alcohol consumed his life... Larry Hoppen died in 2012 - took his own life... Lance Continues to play and produce music , mostly in Nashville,,, John Hall was a congressman from NY for a term, but went back to music, recently releasing the album Reclaiming my Time in 2021.
and one more..................
ok,,, let's add one more
