duffey battillo 1960s photobooth

this photo was made in the 1960s- [probably in monroe] - it got cut in half at some point and i just merged the two [badly] today. it's me and raymond battillo- he was the drummer with "white lighting" - i played keyboards [vox organ and key bass- later hammond b3 and foot pedals] sang and wrote some of the material. i dont remember if this was before or after the band was formed or disbanded. i seem to recall it was when we in transition from one band to another, but cant remember which! "white lighting' was a psychedelic rock/soul band from the ark-la-miss [bill dunn: vocals, sax and flute; dabney tannehill: guitar and vocals]- we moved to colorado [1st to nederland, then to denver] where we became house band at the Exodus. what a wild and crazy time it was!
