Description

Part 2 of the interview with Dick Weisberg,  the drummer from The Beacon Street Union, one of the 3, along with Orpheus & Ultimate Spinach, known as the main "Bosstown Sound" labeled bands. Formed in the summer of  1966, the band lineup was Keyboardist Bob (Rhodes) Rosenblatt, Wayne Ulaky on  bass,  John Lincoln Wright  on vocals, Paul Tartachny on guitar, and Dick Weisberg on drums. They played many gigs throughout the country featuring  some originals & British blues covers of American blues classics.
