TBT #9- Escanaba rock band Flood was featured in this poster dating from about 1970. The group comprised, clockwise, from top: Tom Vardigan, Terry Steede, John Adams and Mark Olivares.This promotional item was designed by promoter Gene Smiltneck for his Bands Unlimited booking agency. The band was also known as Johnstown Flood, a reference the 1889 tragedy in Pennsylvania which claimed over 2,000 lives. In 1968, Johnstown Flood won an "amateur" Battle of the Bands contest at the Upper Peninsula State Fair, organized by John Chown. All 14-years-old, this version of the group included Vardigan, Steede, Olivares and Joel Coplan.

John Prine in Green Bay yesterday, what a great show!

A treasure-trove of old country albums-- by the likes of Johnny Cash, Merle Haggard, Waylon Jennings and many others-- have been safety stored away in our basement since we obtained them from a local estate. Now, we're ready to find good homes for these gems from the past. Instead of selling them to the highest bidder on Ebay or Amazon, we're giving local country fans first chance to add some hard-to-find LPs to their collections. We're asking a very-reasonable price of just $4 each for these very fine collectibles, all are in nice shape too! But, there's one catch--these records-- at least 2,500 in total-- are located in our basement. Don't worry, there are no monsters down there and it's well-lit and clean! But, you better put aside some time if you want to look through them all. You'll find Willie Nelson, Johhny Paycheck, Wanda Jackson, Ferlin Husky, Hank Snow, Webb Pierce, Eddy
Arnold, Jim Reeves and many others. If you're interested to set up an appointment call the Record Rack in downtown Escanaba at 786-4005 or 786-5212 and ask for Sue.
