Hi, My name is John Fowler. I played rhythm guitar for Jerry Valdez and the Moonlighters back in 59/60. I only played a few times at Firemans Hall ect. but have the best memories of those days. I was not a good guirtarist but available. I also played the drums ocassionally. I definately remember the black outfits, they were very cool in the day. I also remember a sax player who came along and really changed the nature of the band. I cannot remember any names other than Jerry and Mike, our regular drummer, shame on me for that! The band really became a local sensation. I then left for Japan with my folks (Air Force) and unfortunately lost contact with everyone in Aurora. I rememer us making two records, "Aint that Loving You Baby and Someting on Your Mind". I think we sold about 12 copies. These are nice memories to have. I am really glad I found you. John
