The Shillings - another story of a band that I know nothing about, save that they were from Ft. Wayne, circa 1967.Pretty interesting promo shot with a collection of odd artifacts, with seemingly no rhyme nor reason.
Our mission, identify these guys. They need to be remembered, as maybe they went on to greatness elsewhere!
Thanks to Wil of the
Jersey Chains for the generous use of the photo!

Small world. This is Mike Mankey of the Olivers, Triad and Music By Mike. The Schillings were from my old neighborhood in Fort Wayne. The guys in the band were Jack Vaubel on bass, Don Vaubel on guitar, Jerry Vachon on lead guitar Dick Vachon on drums and I can't recall the keyboardists name but will eventually. I'll get back to you.
how do i dowenload these?
What do you mean by download these?
The Schillings became the definitive local Jimi Hendrix tribute act, playing a superb evening of Hendrix one night when I attended at the Fort Wayne Hullabaloo Club out near Harris Rd. Extremely accomplished act at the time. -- S.T. (keys) formerly Surf Suns/Boston Creme Pie/Walden etc.
I remember Jerry, Dick & Jack. Jerry was a kick-ass guitarist, played a vintage Les Paul that would be worth a bundle today.
They played Le Scene in Indy fairly regularly.
