the mc gowan brothers were partnered with doug lapham and jim ricker to form the "fabulous farquhar" a very well known new england band. they played boston, mt snow, the cape, nyc....you name it, they played it. i first met them in wilmington vermont about a hundred years ago. there's still a photo of them from the early 70s(with a host of other players) on the wall of "the vermont house" in wilmington. a fine, fun group of extremely talented entertainers, they are well remembered and still spoken highly of. i still perform many of their "hits".
