WRONG DUDE

Guess it's a not uncommon nickname/stagename. Here's another one from Oz: https://scenestr.com.au/music/confidence-man-janet-planet-on-taking-the-world-by-storm

Was reminded of this wrong dude recently...

(I assume she’s known in NZ, but I clicked the link and was like ??)

Wrong dude and wrong spelling but given how common this misspelling is I think I can get away with it. Also he's a guitarist.

Ugh, it is so hard to furnish a bay window...

i hate how david gilmore always plays the exact same solos every concert

tbf he was the more famous of the two dudes for a while

By the way, which flag's pink?

Even better, an article about these dudes:

https://www.pipestonestar.com/articles/wire/

The best way to describe this new band was a multi-talented hippie band.

The band’s set list consisted of original songs, good old time rockin’ covers and a Beatles set that was second to none.

To be fair, I can see Colin Newman doing this.

Wire was especially popular on the college circuit.

Totally them!

Looks like "Curtiss A" has a Wikipedia entry. Local legend?

(They should have stayed Bare Wire, that's a cool name)

He's 5 years younger than Bruce Gilbert.

... that's Wire's Bruce Gilbert, not this dude:

Looks like "Curtiss A" has a Wikipedia entry. Local legend?

Good setup!

That one reminds me of this photo studio in my neighborhood that is very likely to cause double takes:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ray_Charles_(musician,_born_1918)

As a vocalist, Charles, along with Julia Rinker Miller, sang the theme song to the television series Three's Company.

Now there's a trivia question that you can not only get right, but also piss off the whole rest of the bar at the same time.

Just looked up the other vocalist. She was Mildred Bailey's niece, they shared the same middle name.

Or maiden name, of course.

Ray Charles (b. 1918) is especially unfortunate because according to Wiki he went by his birth name, Chuck Offenberg, until the 1950s when the other Ray Charles was already famous. Not sure why you would invite that confusion upon yourself!

I was 99% sure when I came across his name that it was a typo for Ray Conniff.

To add to themy confusion, there seems to be an overlap between the Ray Conniff Singers and The Ron Hicklin Singers, including Ron Hicklin himself, although the Ray Charles Singers form a disjoint set, at least as far as I know right now.

And of course, Ron Dante functioned as a free agent, more or less.
