I watched with interest as their mode of transportation evolved as they grew in popularity and the size and quality of their musical equipment. I too remember the window van parked on Prairie St in front of the Zavatsky home with those Vox amps in clear view. I was attending St. Vincent's school in Elkhart at that time where their band would play the school dances and they allowed our little band to use their Vox amps to perform our three song set during their breaks. (Great guys) They would sometimes leave their equipment there on stage for their practices during the week. I too was a member of a garage band which we formed at St. Vincent's after the British invasion.<br />I took my guitar lessons at Witmer McNease music store in downtown Elkhart where many local bands would trade in their equipment for larger newer gear which allowed me to purchase Fender amps and guitars at greatly reduced prices.

They and The Dukes (of Goshen) were the first local bands I saw that had Vox equipment (Super Beatle amps, Vox Continentals, etc.). Bill Beaver lived around the corner from my house. We used to play a made-up football-type game we called tackerola in his back yard and built Pot Luck Stadium back there, where we played a version of whiffle ball. As I recall, the Noble V / Six in the Morning played regularly at the National Guard Armory and sometimes in the summer at a pavilion in McNaughton Park.GRandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15780625525741961757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1230578421281336811.post-47554510461503203682021-05-22T08:10:04.148-05:002021-05-22T08:10:04.148-05:00I remember that band under both names and was an e...I remember that band under both names and was an enthusiastic young fan.

As i remember, all of the young ladies were hot for both of our bands. Remember playing in Warsaw, downtown and up the most gawd-awfull set of stairs, matched only by the Top Deck in terms of wishing we didn't own the biggest amps and the most drums of any group in the mid-west. What a great time to play music. Dave Patterson, Drummer extaordinaire, U.S. MaleAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
