Welcome Paradoxers!
This blogspot will be our new home to share updates on everyone's new cd's, links to music venues, and other activities.
You can also post remembrances, photos, and any other memorabilia you would like to share. It would be great if this could become like an archive for the Paradox -- then and now.
More information to follow as I figure this out. In the meantime, please add your comments and keep the site alive and growing.
Dave Hall, a local deejay with a Sunday afternoon folk music show, out of Anaheim, saw us at The Paradox and took us on. He was responsible for getting most of our gigs including the one in Ventura. We weren't out-of-hand, but at times we could be difficult to deal with: egos, in-fighting, etc. Dave was only 18, younger than me, but was mature beyond his years. He worked hard for us and I don't think we appreciated his efforts as we should have.....
I do think Hall may have some stuff we did at his radio station just before Solberg joined us. I'm sure one is our take on a weird Animals tune called 'Bury My Body,' derived from an old black field shout. We did have a knack for picking off-the-wall material. I'd love to hear them but fear they've long been destroyed or lost.
This is definitely a story for Dave Hall, who probably has those tapes to this day.
I love that kind of music, so am surprised I don't remember them playing at the Paradox. It also says at least one of them recorded with Scaff's Skiffle Band, so I must have met them.
Dave's computer is giving him trouble, but David Hall is a walking encyclopedia, he never forgets any thing, can give you the year, date, names and anything else in the world you want to know.

Cool stuff. My memory is being jogged.
OK, anybody know what became of those English kids from Coventry, The Adey Brothers?
Maybe Rob can help.

Did they also play at the Paradox? I fear I'm losing braincells by the minute.
Or how about the Crispy Critters?
