THE KONFIGURATIONS -(Contributed by John Colvin) JC writes: "Allen Grimm had a band I played in back in '67 & 68. We played all the usual places,Teen Canteen,Teen Sceen, Ricki Ware was our manager and a damn good one. One night we had to go on after Sonny and the Sunliners, Ricki thought we were getting to big for our britches and that took us down a peg.The Virgil Foxx Band were doing their thing and it was a hell of a good time to be around."
