Then we follow Virginia artist Dean Kohler on his continuing adventures. We've already featured his previous group the Satellites, and we pick up the story after Kohler was drafted in 1965. It spelled the end of the Satellites, but not Kohler's musical career. On the transport to Vietnam, he formed a new group, the Electrical Banana, and even managed to record a few songs in Hanoi while on tour! You'll hear one of them in this podcast.
And we check out Raw Soul from 1972. Dorsey shows up to blow sax on the record, keeping the energy level high (before the lead singer kicks him off). We finish with the Electric Sunshine, a remarkable band of nine-year-olds from Jonesboro, Arkansas.
