I noted that one of the persons receiving an award was Larry Byrom. His bio caught my eye. 12/27/48 Huntsville, Ala. Joined a band in California called The Hard Times. This group was the band that performed on the Dick Clark show, Where The Action Is, for 2 years. There was a local band named The Hard Times that changed their name to The Rites Of Spring after winning a battle of the bands and got to be on Where The Action Is. Club member Mike Pair was a member of the local Hard Times. After leaving The Hard Times, Larry became a member of Steppenwolf. Two of the songs Larry contributed as a member of Steppenwolf made the Top 40. Those were “Hey Lawdy Mama” and “Monster”. While dating the same girl Jimi Hendrix was dating, Larry got to meet and jam with the legendary guitarist. Ever go to buy records from someone and they have a price guide to go by. Condition of the records is sometimes ignored? I went to a garage sale once and after choosing a few 45’s from a box and asking what the price was, the seller picks up his guide, collects my stack, goes to another part of the basement and then comes back telling me what he would take. Very high priced. These particular ones weren’t worth that much to me. When someone finds out I collect records, they usually tell me about their Elvis records and ask me how much they might be worth. I explain to them that unless they have those few rare, collectable Elvis records, they probably have what millions of other people have and there’s not that much value to them.
