As noted above Don Connors was the lead singer and banjo player Brian Bolger, played guitar and sang harmony as did I on the song Hootenanny. Brian can be reached at 301-898-5409 and I can be reached at 304-291-1328. We were not a boy/girl group as stated in one of the first notes. The three girls who appear on the sheet music are my two sisters Eileen Byrne and Susan Byrne Picciano and Sandy Kavanaugh who's family was responsible for intoducing Joy Records president Eddie Joy to our group. From that introduction we landed the record deal to record Hootenanny.

After the summer of '63 when Hootenanny reached #38 on the billboard chart (with a "bullet" by the way) we all went off to college, Don to Notre Dame, Brian to Georgetown and me to Holy Cross. We recorded a couple more records that went nowhere. The summer of '64 we added a fourth member, John Cadley, who was a classmate of mine at Holy Cross. John is a talented song writer and currently has a song "Time" recorded by Lou Reid on Lou's latest album titled "Time". We sang as a quartet throughout the summmer of '64 in clubs on Long Island, NY.

We are the definitive "one hit wonder" and are mentioned under that heading in Wikipedia, along with a lot of other groups and artists. The whole experience was a gas for me and the other members. We had a reunion in West Virginia a few years ago at a mountain resort....we sang and ate and talked about kids and life.
