I got an informative email from Bill Lenihan on 12/24/17:
Hello Greg,
I do have info on SweetLeaf.
The band played from about 1972-74 throughout STL at all the youth dances,
CYC events, battle of the bands, etc.
It was good young band with a big following in those days.
Bill Pierce went on to play with a few other bands.
Bill Lenihan became a professional musician, studio player, film composer,
then professor of music, working with many, many entertainers in show business, popular music and Jazz, in NY/LA, now Europe.
Bob Reich ended up working for the FBI, last I heard.
Jay Hancock relocated to the east coast, after many years of not playing, he took to the drums again.
Bob Muriel was not a part of the band but we knew him.
There was not a ‘GARY’ in the band.
If you have any info about, or photos or recordings of this band, PLEASE email me at: greg@dejawho.com
