There are also images from Tom Warren, Class of 1972, and John Morton. In the band were
Craig Bell, class of 70, Jim Ellis class of 71, and Andrew Klimek class of 77.
They also give the Lakewood Band electric eels as the "birth of punk" title, which places
the start of a genre of music right here in Lakewood.
Read it, John is always an interesting interview:
