It's a dark night, and I'm reading a facebook page, "Planet Hammond". Suddenly a plea catches my attention:"The "Kritters" were definitely the most popular. Band leader Ron Jongsma, and Rick Grigsby lived in my neighborhood and we were treated to garage concerts on summer nights. They recorded a record called "Hey Car Hop", but I believe it it was under a previous name, which I can't remember......Help."
The Exports is the band in question, circa 1964.
Band Members:
Ron Jongsma - Guitar
George Felaney - Guitar
Tom Barnhart - Guitar
Howard Friedman - Drums
The Exports left us two 45's
King 5917 - Car Hop / Seat Belts Please
King 5985 - Mustang '65 / Always It's You
I had the Car Hop 45, didn't know it was Indiana related, but it is a great surf\hot rod instrumental. Now I have to find the Mustang '65............
Special thanks to Jim Carley for the inspiration.

"Car Hop" is one of my favorite King 45s... that's saying something!
"Mustang 65" is also very good. I've got it, but I'm not selling it.
