Debi..You can find a video clip of Bags on the drums during the 2008 Kansas Music Hall of Fame induction at http://www.youtube.com/B3Jammer. At last contact, he was doing fine.

I am trying to find out what exactly happened to Bags. I almost married him once, and read on another blog that he passed away. Would appreciate any info.

Well, Hunter…..your grandpa was a dear friend of mine, and we played many, many sets together. He was an outstanding talent who left us much too early!

if any of you want to know the real facts, not “i followed the band here and there” recollections,
ask garry mac.
info@garrymac.com
he remembers every guy that played what, when and where…
other than that, i’d say tim and wayne should know more than most of you.

Hey Guys,
Any of ya’ll ever hang at the Peppermint Lounge and come across a couple of guys from the NAVY that were trying to cut some tunes? One was Bill Lycoff, and the other played Sax, a guy by the name of Cary Hanna. He was my dad. I’m trying to track down some info or anything else that might be helpful. Thanks much, if you can help, i’m at tmmosaic@hotmail.com

One other thing about ,The Mac Truque/Dani & The Roulettes. In 1964 they played back up for the Newbeats when they perormed at the Plaza Theater. I went there and it was a great show. Dani & The Roulettes played the music for the Newbeats, songs like Bread & Butter and others that were hits for the Newbeats and they sounded just like the band on the record. The Rouletts also played a single that was supposed to come out but it never did. Dani Gregory told me they got screwed out of that one, which is too bad it was a really great sounding tune, but I don’t remember the name of it. What a great band they were!

I agree with you about “Lickin Stick.” For a live cut, it’s hard to believe that there was only 4 musicians playing all of that! As for the breakup, I know they were still going strong in 1972. I quit in the the fall of 1971, and Garry called me from San Diego in 1972 to consider coming back with them. When I joined the group in 1969, the original group was still intact. Danny was the first to leave, then Tim, and then Buddy. Danny wasn’t replaced, but Tim was replaced by Rich Gordon, and Buddy was replaced by Joe Wood.

One other thing about the album the Mac Truque recorded. The one song that was done fairly well was Lickin Stick. I think it was the best cut on that album. I have played that cut for several friends and they all though it was James Brown….and The Famous Flames!
