The Chargers, at the time of the recordings, were Steve Nelsen, Ron Kinscherf, Curt Dorey, Bass, and Tony Morgan.

The band started in 1966, original members included Larry Roller, guitar, Don Sandstrom, vocals, and after evolving into the recording unit described above, after a couple years of intense gigging, Jerry Riley became the drummer, which made the band complete. We played nearly every high school dance plus all the teen clubs, in five counties surrounding us. After the record hit the street, we were rock stars. But then I decided to join the Army on the wise advice of the local police after a bunch of us got busted for pot...and that about ended it.  Ron sruggled on for a while with different musicians but it was never the same.  Since then we all played music, Ron and I still perform as much as possible. Unfortunately Jerry Riley passed away in 1970. I still miss him.

I wanted to share something exciting!  The Chargers made their first public appearance after more than 40 years last night (9 March 2012)!

I've got a page on my site talking about it!  http://julianrecords.com/chargersreturn/
