WELCOME TO THE OFFICIAL WEBSITE
OF THE MOONRAKERS
Prior to becoming Moonrakers, the band was known as The Surfin' Classics, and then The Classics. Above is their business card contributed by Moonrakers' longtime friend, Kevin Longwell.
This is the Classics. From left to right in the back are: Joel Brandes, Van Dorn, Bob Webber, Doug Dolph, with Bob MacVittie in front on drums. Doug was later replaced in the band by Denny Flannigan. This is from about 1964. We were going from our surfing music phase to Beatles, Byrds, and original music. Bob M.
Below is the back of Kevin's card. On it is written For Moochers Only. By showing that when he went to a club where they were performing he was able to enter for free. Now you may also enter for free using his card by clicking on it.
