THE VACANT LOT : DAYTON

With only one mid-60's 45rpm to their name, Dayton's The Vacant Lot was host to local talent Roger Sayre. The band morphed from another which was called The X-cellents. Hopefully, I will discover something from them....

The Vacant Lot-This Little Feelin'

D.A.B. EXPRESS : CINCINNATI

From 1978 comes a James Brown sounding funk/soul side from D.A.B Express. This one is a favorite for some northern soul collectors...demanding big $$ several years ago.

D.A.B Express-Funky Rufe Top

LITTLE DONNIE BOWSHIER : WILMINGTON

Back when this cool rockabilly side was released (March 1957), many would have labeled it as a Elvis sound-a-like.Maybe so, but giving it a listen after all these years, I call it's a slab of pure bliss. On the rare DESS label, here's Little Donnie Bowshier with the Radio Ranch Boys.

Little Donnie Bowshier-Rock And Roll Joys

BETTY NICKELL : MANSFIELD

Here's a strong rockabilly offering from Betty Nickell. From what I have gathered, she was born in Kentucky and made here way into Ohio. Recently inducted into the Rockabilly Hall of Fame. Congrats! Betty! !

Betty Nickell and the Mystics-I'm Ready

CAPTAIN FOAM: CANTON

Here's a smokin' side from Captain Foam. From what I can gather, it may have been a one-man band. Need more info though... None the less, solid heavy '70s rock!!


Captain Foam-No Reason

RON HARRINGTON : COLUMBUS

Here's a sweet soul side from 1971,on the legendary HILLSIDE label by Ron Harrington.


This is a RARE one!!

Ron Harrington-It Happened To Me Again

BILL BEACH : CINCINNATI

Here's a good 2-sided rockabilly offering from Bill Beach on the famous KING label. Born in 1932 in Kentucky, Bill spent time in Cinci...good enough to get noticed here.
