memories
Phil Nicholls, Friars
fan
Many thanks for getting the
Friars site up and running. Great memories!
The most memorable for me was
meeting my future wife at the Commander Cody gig on Jan 24, 1976. We
married in August 1977 and have recently celebrated 30 years
together, courtesy of the Friars Club. And we both still have our
membership cards.

what happened next
The band itself ceased from
1977, but
Commander Cody
(George Frayne) still gigs under the name today.
