GUEST,Phil d'Conch 60's group, The Rose Garden (3) RE: 60's group, The Rose Garden 20 Sep 17


Wouldn't worry too much about labels. They're always changing anywho. As for where they've landed...

"These days the four original group members remain in touch and have been talking about a Rose Garden reunion. Noreen, who toured extensively as a steel guitarist with Highway 101 in the 1980s, works as a computer tech for his wife's Nashville real estate business, and as a session guitarist on the side. Groshong owns a construction company in the San Fernando Valley, Fleming is a retired Los Angeles police officer living in Orange County, and Bowdin is a buyer with the Dallas, Texas, transit system. De Rose briefly replaced lead vocalist Gayle McCormick in A Group Called Smith (known for their 1969 hit, "Baby, It's You"), but eventually left music altogether because life on the road had become too "stressful and draining." She earned a degree in computer programing and worked as a graphic artist for Hughes Aircraft in the 1970s. She later married a doctor from San Antonio, Texas, where she lives today. Kenny Gist moved to Nashville in 1969, wrote a slew of songs (including Charlie Rich's 1973 No. 1 country smash, "Behind Closed Doors") and successfully revived his Kenny O'Dell persona for the country charts. Pat Vegas and his brother Lolly founded Redbone, a 1970s rock band best known for their Top 5 hit, "Come and Get Your Love." Gene Clark died in 1991. Greene & Stone returned to New York City and eventually abandoned the music business."
