I played a year with James Mobly and the Shades of Soul... James went on to record at Motown as far as I know. We won the Battle of the Bands In Tulsa, Okla. and did a T.V. show for Danny Kaye and the Scene in Okla. City as a reward. James had one hell of a voice especially when he went into falsetto... This recording was done in an auditorium with a cheap recorder and maybe 300 people in attendance. First time we had played at the academy as far as a formal setting. My parents and girl friend Mary were there... Once the academy realized we could actually play coupled with James being a black man and all of us white we got to travel and play at different events showing how inclusive the academy was etc etc.
The first band we formed was called the Nightwalkers out of Purcell, Okla. but I can not find any recording or videos of our work.. We were together until our lead singer/Saxophone player "Lee" had to enter the service.

Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realize you’re wrong.
Silence those who disagree and you will never realize you are wrong.
No one rules if no one obeys
