So Larry, I remember playing with you and the guys and Bob Snyder who has since died. I then played with Les Silvey. Then, a few years later I saw a picture of S/N playing at the Hollyoak. I called and asked for Stark Naked thinking it was Les and I think I got you. Never put it all together until I got there that night and recognized all of you.
Saw your website. Looks like you have been busy. Tried to download some of the mp3’s for my I-pod but it didn’t recognize them. I had taught Les the chords on Runaround Sue and Travlin Man.
Bill baker is dead and Ronnie Haig has a degenerative back problem but still making cd’s
Have a book you guys would probably get a kick out of. Written by Larry ? who was a drummer in a half dozen bands in the 60,s. Tells stories about the bands active then.
Tried to send Les e-mails a couple of times but no response. Hope he’s ok.
Don’t know if this will get to you. Hang in there.

Ed, I wonder if this could be Larry Devers? He was one of the best drummers I ever heard. We met him when he was playing with “Sod, Seed, and Butcher Company”. They might have been playing at the Sands in Las Vegas at the same time we were at the Flamingo.
They were regular performers on the Steve Lawrence TV show but I seem to remember that was under a different name – Lodestone, I think.
