Lance Hesselgren


Meet Lance Hesselgren from Los Lunas, New Mexico.

I've known the band since high school back in the late 60's and early 70's. They used to live up the road from where I lived in Carpenters Park in Watford England. Seems like only yesterday I was standing at the edge of a stage at West Ruislip (in England) and watched the guys play a few songs. That night they made $12.00 each. Now, with inflation and all I'm sure that has changed -- good for them!

Oh yeah, talk about a real trip: My sister went to the senior prom and you guessed it -- they were the band which played that night. I last saw them in Albuquerque in September 98 -- great show. One thing that I don't think will ever change is Gerry wearing tennis shoes. I am a fan who thinks that the quality of music these guys have put out for years is just a reflection of their commitment to the fans of America. Oh yes regarding the band called Dazed, if my memory serves me, this was the name of the band before the name on the juke box.

I hope that some of you will find this interesting. But, oh, the stories I could tell...

Feel free to send your comments or questions to Lance.
