West Michigan Mid-Sixties Bands

One of the greatest small town folk-rock bands from the late 1960's. Fantastic harmonies . . . just a lot of energy and fun.

Did the band move to California and make another record besides the one on Scott/Decca? I have the copy on Decca, and it sounds GREAT!!

The band stayed in Michigan and produced another record titled, "That Was the Time." Flip side: "Silver Bells and Toy Balloons." Some of the members live in Florida now, and a couple are in Michigan.

Jim,
Where did you get your copy? Do you want to sell it?
The band never went to California. Some of the members are still performing in other groups though.

HI-IN REGARDS TO THE QUESTION "DID THE BAND MAKE ANY RECORDS OTHER THAN ON SCOTT AND DECCA, I FOUND ONE ON THE "MATRIX" LABEL. IT MAY BE AN UNKNOWN TITLE CALLED "DO WE FEEL". I HAVE IT ON E-BAY RIGHT NOW, ITEM # 110255412932. E-MAIL WITH ANY QUESTIONS. THANKS. STEVE

I played keyboards and sang a little harmony with the band after Mark left. The band broke up in 1972. I ran into Mike at a high school choral festival about twenty years ago. I taught with Pete Fullenwider for a year at Mar Lee School and met him at the Lakeview Mall in Battle Creek about fifteen years ago. Haven't heard from any other members. I would like to.

I was the singer in the Merrie Motor Company. I see there are some nice remarks from previous friends and members. Sorry we never did more with the music. See a lot of friends who remember also on Facebook. We never made it to California and that was too bad - I remember getting other offers with groups - wish I had taken them. You never know!!

Cynthia, Marcia, this post is now old, but for some reason tonight I decided to search the Merrie Motor Company because I remember watching this band practice out back in our neighborhood. Always wondered how the story came out. Peace Out, Glen
