Wow, Bernie, you must have been thrilled to find these recordings, I know I 
 would have been. Fun to hear today. Thanks for sharing.

A few weeks ago, I was searching around on eBay and the rest of the Web to  
see if I could find a copy of the 45 that I recorded with my first band,  
second incarnation. I had lost my sole copy many, many years ago and was  
shocked to find two, apparently unplayed, DJ copies. I bought them both and a  
Stanton USB turntable, and converted them to MP3. The band was called The 
Last  Five and the single was recorded while I was still in high school, in 
late  1965 on the Wand label at the Scepter-Wand studio in New York, under the 
 direction of Florence Greenberg. Both songs were written and sung by Basil 
 (Bill) Matychak, who went on to form Buffalongo. Members of Buffalongo, 
minus  Bill, eventually formed Orleans and King Harvest, who covered a 
Buffalongo  song, Dancin' In The Moonlight. Here be teh tunes:
