Query:

Were these band uniforms all hand made or was there a band uniform industry that died sometime in the 70's/80's?

Haha the water aerobics class for old people at my local YMCA is called "Joint Effort."

Were the members of bar bands a lot older back then? Or do I just not pay attention to bar band members today?

Hampton Grease Band ain't exactly, either.

Outstanding thread.

Some of it is the optical illusion of see these haircuts for the last 30 years on the cohort as they age. The Night Crew looks like it might have a father and son, though!

North Americans were skinny once!

Does "Joint Effort" refer to some kind of pre-Yes/Buggles merging of Uriah Heep and The Partridge Family?

maltsnapper, Wednesday, 28 July 2010 23:22 (fifteen years ago)

it really is sad to go through old photos up to the present and watch the ballooning waistbands expand, I gotta say
