And I looked up Dynatones on iTunes to see what I could find, because the name is so familiar, and there was at least one band by that name. No chance that his band is one of those, huh?<BR/><BR/>Thanks, CBW. I just called my dad AGAIN this morning because of you.fooleryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14437690389824744691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2240067140694289750.post-4257229940365639942008-06-16T05:50:00.000-04:002008-06-16T05:50:00.000-04:00tj -Thanks.

You're funny - as creative and artistic as you are, I'm sure there is a musical bone in your body somewhere.<BR/><BR/>cgs - It does sound like they're related, or kin as we like to say.

I was reading the post this morning about your dad and it struck me what a parallel life he lead to my father-in-law...down to the bad heart and drum skills. Maybe they were twins in a different life. =)<BR/><BR/>We live relatively close to you, but the view from where you live totally beats mine! Great pictures - can't wait to check back.

A......Aww CBW, your dad sounds like a great fella! And my hat is off to him for raising such a great gal too! And what a neat memory of your dad in the band! Does he still get behind the drums? I tried the drums once thinking to myself, "oh just how hard can this be?" lol...well, it's like rubbing your belly and patting your head to me - it ain't gonna happen! ;o)<BR/><BR/>...Love the VDub too - can't wait for the stories on that one!<BR/><BR/>...Enjoy Father's Day and hug your dad extra tight...<BR/><BR/>...Blessings CBW... :o)tjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15595340637449976534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2240067140694289750.post-59898246776289372562008-06-15T07:55:00.000-04:002008-06-15T07:55:00.000-04:00cats - I am very lucky indeed.

Many of the band members are still around here in Mathews, although two of them have died in the past several years. My father says that someone actually does have a recording of their music, and I thought he said they cut an album, but don't quote me on that one. <BR/><BR/>It's great that you remember that band. I wish I could have heard them myself as much as he talks about them. <BR/><BR/>Thanks for writing.

So your articles show up.<BR/>I don't read them all only for the the lack of time. I love the ones that I do.<BR/>Dynatones! No kidding! Big Daddy and the Dynatones,I loved them and the nights at White Stone Beach.<BR/>When I came home from Viet Nam I couldn't wait for Saturday night to come so I could go there.<BR/>It was gone and closed up. A landmark to my youth.<BR/>I wish someone had tapes of the Dynatones. It was really good music.<BR/>They use to close every night with the people there getting on the stage with them and sing "Everybody loves a Lover"<BR/>Ken<BR/>Native of the Northern NeckAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2240067140694289750.post-51117672712540697212008-06-14T17:47:00.000-04:002008-06-14T17:47:00.000-04:00Aces to your dad.

He and my husband's grandfather worked in that shop together behind the D.G. store. The building is still there. Your father worked harder than most people should. Perhaps that's what keeps him going.<BR/>Happy Fathers Day to him!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
