Morgan has a drum set from M8ke and can still play. She has 4 boys and Dina has worked with challenged children, a commendable profession. He taught me how to play drums At a young age. I saw him play many times at his father's restaurant LaNeve's in Haledon, NJ. His dad Angelo was a nice man and let me work at the restaurant. <br />Mike died in January of 2093 from pulmonary complications due to his hypothyroidism. He was a good man.<br />Thanks for reading and paying respect to Mike. <br />Charles 626 826 3815Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10830093300360094461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7379959197726431640.post-53579275025568645062015-01-17T19:22:02.660+02:002015-01-17T19:22:02.660+02:00This is excellent music, though more commercially ...This is excellent music, though more commercially oriented than other offerings here on Rockasteria. <br /><br />Thanks for sharing this gem of a record. <br /><br />Michael <br /><br />Saturday 17th January 2015. 5.22pm Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16740936377992230513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7379959197726431640.post-40300599390655479422015-01-11T17:03:37.603+02:002015-01-11T17:03:37.603+02:00This comment has been removed by the author.Marioshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10825394886031470166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7379959197726431640.post-49480879955101946592015-01-10T20:27:47.360+02:002015-01-10T20:27:47.360+02:00Thank you, keep it up! :)Thank you, keep it up! :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08961038773836047191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7379959197726431640.post-91595307569179094092015-01-10T18:59:23.858+02:002015-01-10T18:59:23.858+02:00Hey there!

Originally known as "The Four Graduates", the band changed their name following their signing to B.T. Puppy Records.<br />'The Happenings'(1966) label: B.T. Puppy Records - BTP 1001 <br />'Pscyle'(1967) label: B.T. Puppy Records - BTPS 1003 <br />Recorded at Stea-Phillips Sound Studios.<br /><br />Members of the original group, created in 1965, all hailed from Paterson, New Jersey and consisted of Bob Miranda, David Libert, Tom Giuliano and Ralph DiVito. In 1968, DiVito was replaced by Bernie LaPorta. Lenny Conforti also joined at this time to play drums in the tour band. Both LaPorta and Conforti took a hiatus from the Northern New Jersey band The Emerald Experience to play and tour with The Happenings. The band continued in this present configuration, performing mostly at colleges and universities until 1970, when Libert left the band to pursue other endeavors within the music industry. The band still exists and continues to perform with lead singer Miranda as the only remaining original member,in the '90s, Miranda formed a new version of the Happenings, playing out live alongside members Bob Kulik and George Rizzi.<br /><br />The '60s pop outfit the Happenings enjoyed a three-year run of several hit singles late in the decade. Soon after, the Happenings began scoring hit singles, including such number ones as "See You in September" and "I Got Rhythm," as well as other moderate hits ("Go Away Little Girl," "My Mammy," and "Girl on a Swing," among others). In addition to their singles, the Happenings issued several full-length recordings, including 1966's self-titled debut, 1967's Psycle, and 1969's Piece of Mind.<br /><br />They performed on such popular TV shows as The Tonight Show With Johnny Carson, The Smothers Brothers Show, and The Merv Griffin Show, and shared the concert stage alongside such notables as the Beach Boys, Roy Orbison, Joan Rivers, John Denver, the Drifters, and the Kingston Trio, among others. <br />The biggest hits:"See You In September" and "I Got Rhythm" were on the Billboard Hot 100 Singles charts for 14 weeks in 1966 and 13 weeks in 1967. (Following the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, "See You In September" was listed in a memo containing 150 songs that radio conglomerate Clear Channel Communications suggested to be pulled from the airwaves - despite the fact that the song is about two lovers saying goodbye for the summer, and has nothing to do with terrorism.)<br />adamus67https://www.blogger.com/profile/07035959023698485029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7379959197726431640.post-53487866796868851672012-10-12T08:38:21.641+03:002012-10-12T08:38:21.641+03:00hello what is your link to download this cd silke ...hello what is your link to download this cd silke ind johny thanks you have a great channelAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
