Fadin to Gray is now in all music distribution sites, so just pick your favorite and go for it. Below is the link to interview Loyd did with Dick Lee, who hosts 60's Garage Bands in California. Loyd Played in 3 during his high school years.

The Anonymous Five 1967
Trans Love Airway 1968
Black Earth 1969

The Music scene in the Central Valley of California was dominated by what was known as Melco Dances because the promoter was Mel Simas. They took place in Hanford, Tulare and Lemoore, California for the most part. Loyd's bands were from Corcoran, CA. He was still in High School when he played in all of these. After this, he rarely played again for over 35 years, until he started The Human Project.

Hello - I live in Leeds, Yorkshire, England. I began playing drums age 15 and began playing drums full time in 1964. My question is 'which bands influenced the garage bands in California in the 60s?' Were the bands influenced by British bands/American bands?. I see in the photograph what looks like a British Vox guitar? I would be pleased to receive your comments. My band in the 60s was THE RUSTIKS and we were signed to THE BEATLES management. Cheers.

William-Gargage bands in california were heavily influenced by the British invasion. The Beatles, Stones, Spencer Davis Group, Dave Clark 5, The Animals and more. They were huge. I will check out the Rustiks my friend. Thanks for stopping by. Loyd The Human The Human Project.
