Chris Allen & the Good-Timers - 1967

This is one of those 45's that we all have, it's from Indiana, of that you are sure, but it's showing no evidence of who was involved in the band. Chris Allen & the Good-Timers. Let's accept that Chris Allen was the leader of the band. Where are you Chris Allen?

My Imagination is surely an original, penned it says by A. Wright, but with no leads on that we move to...
Sorry 'bout That sounds familiar, a Sam the Sham and the Pharaohs tune.

The 45 is a Rite pressing, (for non-gear heads, that means it was pressed in Cincinnati), so we can easily date it from January 1967. I put this up on the sister Facebook site and no one was able to identify who was in the band. I'm sure they have been located as Richmond or Union City have been fingered as the locale of the band.

Any ideas, real or imagined are appreciated.

Wright Brothers - Tim Wright - Not the Destsination

Published in 2013 - Not the Destination - A spiritual, musical journey in the Wright Brothers Band.
Written by Tim Wright, encompasses the life and times of the Wright Brothers Band, a strictly Indiana product.

Also for the 60's Indiana Band Szene fans, stories of the "Suns of Summer", "Knightsmen", "Fourmost", and the "Quintones".

It's a good read, and most of us will relate to the Stable Inn, and the story of a band that played mostly in bars, but didn't drink!
