A note from a fan, Roger Jones:
Hi...my name is Roger Jones and I was a fan of the Aardvarks. I lived in Lawrenceville, Il. which is due east of St. Louis on Rt. 50 near the Indiana state line. I first met the band through their manager, who’s name escapes me and was very kind to us, who worked as a salesman at the Ludwig Music Store in downtown St. Louis. I recall seeing the band only once but really dug their sound and look. Mike Wee made a big impression on me as did Mike Newman. I remember being very impressed with them doing “Strawberry Fields Forever”.

In the wonderful 60's it was totally common for local cover bands to open shows for national acts!
