Long Live Rock & Roll

This picture was takin  in the late 50's, maybe early 60's? of Gene Petersen, Mike Martin, and Bob Blaurock practicing. Judy Scott is also in the background. The Brothers were a popular band and they're shown here in Bob's kitchen on Harrison St in Port Townsend.


Sharon Sofie Mailloux (class of PT '61) recently caught Gene and Bob performing at the Waitsburg Days near Walla Walla.  Gene graduated from Chimacum in 1962 and Bob graduated from Port Townsend in 1960.  Still lookin' good too!   (click on photo to enlarge)





Here's another photo with Corky Keehn, (3rd from the left) who was in the class of '61, and also played sax in the band.
