Just Us
   

My family moved (1964) so I left the band and entered a new high school.  I made new musician friends in my new school and started a new band in 1965 called "Just Us".  The original Just Us band was comprised of (from left to right) Danny Chavez on drums and vocals, Mike Cain on bass and vocals, Nick Quarte on guitar and vocals, Phil Leanio on saxophone and vocals and myself on keyboards and vocals.  The Go-Go Dancers are Phyllis Rapp and Donna Burke.  We played a lot of Young Rascals tunes.  This band also played many high school functions and a few wedding receptions and benefits. One of our biggest crowning achievements was playing in the Cow Palace for the H. Leibes Band Bash (battle of the bands) we didn't win but we were among the finalists.  Shortly thereafter Danny Chavez, Phil Leanio and Nick Quarte left the band, so Mike and I hired Ernie Enochson on drums, Ross Winetsky on lead guitar and vocals, Mike Williams on rhythm guitar and vocals and Vick Linn Gargano as the lead singer. We played many popular tunes as well as many original tunes mostly composed by Ross. Vick the singer had the "Mick Jagger" thing going for himself.
