Thread Name: Has anyone heard of the Wayfarers?
Subject: RE: Has anyone heard of the Wayfarers?
Yes, if you mean the Wayfarers who were the folk group in the early-mid '60s. I liked 'Old Blue'. I had a really scratched up copy of the 'Come Along' With the Wayfarers album but my brother found a good copy and made (don't tell anybody. I don't suppose it's piracy because I DO have the original) on CD that turned out well. A couple of guys who were in the Wayfarers moved Charleston, SC here in the mid-70s. They opened up a bar/nightclub downtown called "The Whale's Tail' and I used to go listen to them. I'm trying to look up whoever was in that band, but one guy was Ray Bluen (sp??) and the other guy just called himself Whale (because he liked whales) and the two of them playing and singing together sounded just like the old band. They called their duo "Beresford Creek" after a little body of water down here. They had a big cause to keep Charleston from getting too big and ruined like they saw happen to Southern California. Alas, the Whale's Tail' went under and I lost touch with the guys.
