John Fogerty

I mean, the same individual musicians.

In high school, or junior high actually, I started a band and called it the Blue Velvets.

Not all that earth-shaking, but kind of a cool vibe.

And we were really the Blue Belvets.

I mean, this was really a trio.

But my brother was older.

He was in another orbit.

So we kind of went through high school, seeing each other every once in a while.

It wasn't like we were all tromping around playing gig after gig.

It was more like, you know, every few months there might be a sock hop or something like that.

And then...

After high school, and Tom would come and sing.

He was my older brother.

He'd come and sing once in a while with us.

We made a couple of recordings during that time with real record companies.

But it was always kind of just haphazard.

And finally, around the age of 19, I went over and knocked on Fantasy Records' door.

They had done this special about Vince Tiroldi, and they were in the Bay Area.

So I went over there and introduced myself.

Anyway, one thing led to another.
