Roburt Posted November 29, 2012 Author Share Posted November 29, 2012 (edited) Not Miami related at all ............. but part of a Hartford radio stn WDRC chart from April 1964 ......... ... Gene Stridel's current 45 was at No.37 (lifted from his Columbia LP) .............. He shared the chart with funky acts such as the Swinging Blue Jeans & the Bachelors. It seems Gene passed away in 1973, so his time in Florida was cut short (see last post). Info on his group, the Striders ........... https://www.uncamarvy...s/striders.html Edited November 29, 2012 by Roburt Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
