Yep they were called "The Electras" and Kerry played bass. Here he is on the far right near the drummer.
The back cover says "John Kerry, electric bass, is a resident of Oslo, Norway, and the producer of a pulsating rythm that lends tremendous force to all the numbers." Norway? yep, his father, Richard Kerry, worked at the U.S. Embassy in Oslo, Norway, as a chief political officer when Kerry was a boy. He attended a Swiss boarding school before transferring to St. Paul's School in Concord in 1956.
here are the song titles:
Side One
1. Guitar Boogie Shuffle
2. Three Blind Mice
3. You Can't Sit Down
4. Greenfields
5. Shanghaied
6. Summertime Blues
Side Two
1. Bulldog
2. Ya Ya
3. Sleepwalk
4. Electra
5. Because They're Young
6. Torquay
7. Yellow Jacket
The folks who run Kerry's campaign should play ths up a little more, let's get some MP3's on line!
If Kerry goes on tv and rips out a hot version of "Summertime Blues" how cool would that be?
