July 25, 2020. Please don’t copy or share this link, folks. The song you hear is “High Voltage”, recorded by the Continentals in about 1962, recording as The Delanceys. 

David Shaffer, ’63 remembers (when he sees a recent picture of Larry Loeck, ’64):

Larry, looking good. In 1961 or 62 Larry invited me to audition on sax with his R&R band “The Continentals.” All was going great until they played “The Wanderer” by Dion. We got to the sax solo and I couldn’t flutter tongue. Listen to the song and you’ll know what I mean. I was really disappointed because they had a great band and I didn’t fit their need.  

Larry was also a fine tennis player on our ‘62 CIF #2 ranked team. He was #5 on our team with his brother Larry #3.  

Well, I’ve never forgotten about that audition and in college I finally learned how to get that “dirty sax” sound and used it in my band at the U of Redlands. We auditioned at Disneyland and made it through to the third round playing in the Golden Horseshoe but that’s as far as we got.  

In fact, last year, 2019, I played “The Wanderer” at a dance job. Funny how things come around.
