From Michael Farrar: I forget what the name of the group is that Brian and Phil went on to form, as well as the name of their guitar player (which is bad since I worked at a place called MacSmart with him for about four months. Like many Lincoln musicians he worked at Dietz Music House for a couple of years in the guitar dept. and then opened his own, short lived, music store. I think it was Tom ???). Fantastic musicians - way beyond my level!!! Ghost Dance Ritual fell apart when Phil took a job playing drums in some group that got thrown together for the sole purpose of touring with and opening for Jefferson Starship. Although we tried keeping stuff going thru the mail there were some differences between Fynbu and Farr (well, Fynbu and everybody really).

From Brian Farr: I thought Farrar was one of the darkest guitar players that I played with. He had the coolest effects that would make Helios tinkle a little. Phil and I left the band and after his Hawaii "lounge" gig we got together with Bob Spire (Tom?) and started a band called Chronic. We played for awhile without a singer doing our own vocals and then Mike Ellerbeck aka Micheal Thomas, Micheal Beck and many other "stage" names he had at the time. He was a pretty good singer but after working with him for a year or two you started to see the "real" part of him. He has since moved to Arizona to make it big....well he thinks. After Chronic disbanded Phil, Mike Pardee and myself started Thread. Once again we worked on songs and tried to get a singer and until we did we sang ourselves. Then Andrew Snook came along after leaving Echoing Green. We had a killer band at that time but once again life takes you to other places and it took Andrew to Cali.

GRANDMA'S COOKIES / TALL TALES ZINE
Years Published 1979 - 1980

From Eric Hallstrom: Originally Kevin Gregorius, myself and Jarret Kopsinski (sp?) had this underground paper at Southeast Highschool called The Lamppost. Since I was a little more hardcore oriented, I took the cue to start my own zine. Initially called Grandma’s cookies, it had some decent music-related stuff, but became more and more a pretentious, introspective personal journal ala Cometbus. Probably my crowning achievement was an interview with Fugazi that was picked up by some major magazine that was at the interview but not allowed to ask any questions. I recall I had lots of music reviews. Kevin wrote for the zine sometimes and frequently reviewed material too. He had an off-and-on piece about his real-life adventures (i.e. asking to borrow the Governor’s dust-buster and getting denied).

From the Nebraska Hall of Fame: Born in 1944, Joe Gray is one of the first Lincoln, Nebraska musicians to enter the wonderful world of rock & roll. Joe became interested in rock music in the mid-1950’s by listening to his sister talk on his family party-line to Nebraska’s first rock singer, Bobby Lowell.

Joe’s first live performance was playing guitar with Saint Vince & The Swing Kings (Crazy Vince Conners aka Jim Smithson). Their first gig was between DJ record spins at Pershing Auditorium in downtown Lincoln. Joe was 14 years old at the time.

Joe played along side and was friends with many early Nebraska rockers, including Bobby Lowell, Pat Glenn, Jim Akin, Jim Cidlik, and Charley Bonds.

Joe’s next band was The Rebounds. They recorded "Diary of Life" & "Graveyard Pistol" recorded at Wolz Music Store in Lincoln and released on ELCO Records, from New Orleans, LA.

Joe later played in some of Lincoln’s first club bands-The Invaders with Jim Akin and The Thunderbirds. These bands played at many of the great rock bars along Cornhusker Highway, including the original Royal Grove and Robbie’s Happy Corner.

IN the mid-60’s Joe joined a group, originally formed in Orchard, NE (The Del Rays) by guitar wizard, Rick Cowling. Changing their name to The Knights of Day---Another "High Hair" band, they became a fixture as a house band at Robbie’s Happy Corner as well as touring the country till the early 1970’s. Gray has switched to bass years before, and became well known for his soaring tenor vocals in soulful versions of "Angel Baby" and "Mr. Pitiful".

Joe later played in "Satin" & The Black Magic Band (aka Hercules & The Black Magic Band) and his favorite group- The Garden Party. Joe has recorded with Bobby Lowell in the mid-1980’s and with Larry Hall "The Ghost of Billy the Kid". Now retired form active playing, Joe Gray is considered on of the most influential, talented and hard working good guys in Nebraska pop music history.

Members went to:

This eclectic band is famous for creating the music for the NETV documentary on Claus Oldenberg and his sculpture "Torn Notebook" which was installed on the UNL campus.

Howlooseanation has more instruments, and more exotic instruments, than any other Lincoln band, by far. Which other band owns a Danmo (Vietnamese), a Theremin (of Bob Moog's design), synthesizers, a Hammond organ, a toy piano, slide whistles, harmonicas, bells, and dozens of other exotic "world" instruments?

After each show, the audience inevitably crowds around, eager to see and learn about the exotic instruments, of which the members happilly demonstrate. Each member plays over a dozen instruments, which is why they aren't listed with each member...

All music is their own, and not written down. Each weekly jam session is recorded, however. Each member plays pretty much whatever they feels fits.

Howlooseanation has performed for openings at the Sheldon Art Gallery, and as part of the parks & recreation department's summer concerts at the Antelope Park bandshell, and put on many shows at the Wagon Train Project's 7th Street Loft, including their annual Halloween shows. Some show titles: "6x12" (1999), "Der Golem 1999" (1999), and "Inspace" (2000).

...initially called The Nomads, these Fremont High School graduates migrated to The University of Nebraska in Lincoln in 1963. Changing their name to J. Harrison B. & The Bumbles, they were campus favorites through the 1960's and toured Nebraska, Colorado, Iowa, Illinois, Missouri and Kansas from 1963-68. (The name "Bumbles" was dropped about 1967 - changing the name to "J. Harrison B.").

While in Lincoln, they played such venues as Pla-Mor Ballroom, Robbie's Happy Corner, Pershing Auditorium, The University of Nebraska Union, Jazz & Java, Keen-Time and 9-High Parties, The Lincoln and Cornhusker Hotel Ballrooms, Der Loaf & Stein, & The Red Ram.

Changing from a pure rock band (guitar-sax-drums), the band expanded to an 8-piece Rhythm & Blues Band in the late 60's. The band frequently featured a 3-piece horn section, Hammond M-3 organ, and a wild choreographed stage show, fronted by soul singer, Liz Williams. Band members left the stage regularly to prance around the dance floor, bopping dancers with a "Whiffle-ball" Bat, wearing "Captain Crunch Hats", and riding on the shoulders of Stan Johnson, while still playing their horns.

Unfortunately, no commercial recordings were ever released by the band. However, 45-RPM acetates of The Nomads exist in EP form, recorded at ROTO Records in 1963. The band also recorded three excellent sides at BraveRecords in Harvey, Illinois in 1967. These progressive self-penned tunes combined the funk of an RB band; a touch of psychedelia, and jazz overtones mixed with excellent vocals and are still fresh some 33 years later. Unfortunately these masters were never released.

J. Harrison B. performed for a private party for movie producer, Otto Preminger and also performed for the cast of the then popular television show "Desert Fox" in Aspen, CO. Drummer in The Nomads and later J. Harrison B. & The Bumbles (from 1963 through 1966) was Mike Klingner, a native of McCook, NE. Mike was an Air Force fighter pilot and was shot down over Laos in 1970. Initially declared MIA, he was declared Killed in Action a year later. Wreckage of his plane was found in Laos in 1995 - but no evidence of his body or gear was found. A Memorial Service was held in McCook, NE on July 3, 2000 to honor Mike & a room at The McCook City Library was dedicated to his memory, along with a showcase of memorabilia from his life.
