"Remember When”
(1961 TIL PRESENT)
In 1961 Remember When was
formed and was known as The Chandeliers and performed their
first gig at their high school winter carnival. You could
find them under corner street lights, playgrounds, city parks,
school hallways, boys bathrooms, and about anywhere else they
could get together and "chime" acappella, in four part harmony.
Their fans poured into hotel
ballrooms, clubs, city parks, colleges, dance halls, and country
clubs to hear those "Golden Oldies".
The "Long Black Wall" and the
"Lone Ranger" were their first recordings. All of them
being Vietnam era veterans, the message in "The Long Black Wall"
touched them as no other song, and they wanted to deliver the
message to veterans everywhere.
The "Long Black Wall" was
written by Bob Belche, a marine veteran, wounded in Vietnam in
January 1967. The "Lone Ranger" was written by George
Mahan' one of the original members of the group, the "Lone
Ranger" did work it's way to the top ten independent billboard
charts.
Today Remember When is
performing at venues such as Harrisburg art fest, The Carlisle
Theater, Carlisle First Night, and other functions in the area.
Ken, Dave, Dick, and Donnie are performing today as one of the
Harrisburg areas favorite oldies groups. |
