"One More Time"!
In the Beginning, 1955 ; The Froggys climbed out of the Salt River,After Floating down from Canyon Lake the long way back from Lafayette La.
Twins Tom A and Chuck Hawke with ( Gary Webb,and 3 more Gary's , McGrath, Paxton, and Trexler) plus Charles Sessions, Henry Chavez, and a few other Tadpoles that hung out at "The 12TH Street Record Bar joined with the Evil Twins to form the band.
aka; 'The Froggy Bottom Swamp Rockers".
After our first gig Our Moms Insisted we choose another name , and Freddy Blanco " Mamas Little Boy Freddy", Our Mentor said the name was to big for the record label . We Picked The Jump In Jacks, which was contested so We Became The Jumping Jacks, and I stopped answering to Hairy the Hairy Ape at that point .
Then We Left for The west Coast for a gig .
We had some luck as on call session players. We had to accept Gigs with caution because gigs took on a broader meaning with us, especially if there was frog legs on the menu. We lost several drummers till we hired the big guy , No one would mess with him.
We lost some to drugs and some to success. So we laid back in the weeds a bit but we're still players now that there is an internet , and it's wired to forever!
who knows?
So with that we are back! and yes there is still hope for more to come, thanks to networking.
