It was the summer of 1968 with four guys piled into a red 65
Mustang convertible towing a trailer on their way to Nanton, and
Black Diamond (South of Calgary). Originally there was Jerry
DeZutter, Terry Kolach, Murray Geekie and Larry Kopra in the
band. That summer they travelled to Athabasca every weekend to
play at a hamburger stand just north and a bit west outside the
town. It was run by Roy Rodgers who was again an important part
in their music when the band Nevada played in Red Deer almost
twenty years later
