  Most of the bands on this site are local bands, but sorry, no, I didn't ever record the Versatiles.

  Did you happen to record any local bands? Am looking for music by a band that played at the Green Dragon and then at Ron Don's in the late 60's to mid 70's. The band's name was The Versatiles and the band members were Brian, Bobby, Arley and Billy.

  I do miss some of the gig time in Anchorage. I was wondering where Derrick Newman was myself. It's nice to see some of the names that were a big part of the music seen in Anchorage. It was hard but fun memories.

  This is a little late, but I came across it today:

Russell H. Pace died from Alzheimer's holding his wife's hand on October 23, 2011. He was a very young 79 years old. Russ was born in Westville OK, on March 1, 1932.

As a young man, he started out with nothing and ended up being a driving force in the business and entertainment industry, starting the popular country western bar The Pines on Tudor Road before Tudor was even paved. In addition to the ownership of The Pines Club, he also was the successful business owner of The Breeze Inn in Seward, Soldotna Bunkhouse, and the Yellow Rose restaurant in Anchorage.

  I am looking for Derek Newman a keyboard player who was our best man at Travis AFB in 1967. We would like to renew our wedding vows and would like him to be our best man again. Any help in locating him would be appreciated. We have found our Maid of Honor just recently. Now if we could only find Derek. Thanks Jane

  I picked up a bit more information on Mr. Monroe. Sometime during the 70's he played with "The Lady and The Tramps", a bad which included vocalists, Jill Verdell and Ron Ellis. He also played in several nightclubs in and out of Anchorage and Cordova. Thank you for any assistance you might present.

  If anyone visiting this site knows the whereabouts of a drummer who played in several taverns in Anchorage, could you please notify me. His name: Larry Monroe. Last I heard of him he played at the New Chinatown Inn or something like that.
