My family consisted of an older sister, my mother, and my step father. We landed in Clearwater after moving down south from Indiana first to Avon Park in the sweltering central wilderness of Florida. One year there was enough  and Carl, my step father moved us again to the coast where he took up residence as the new pharmacist. I desperately started to look for a rock and roll band to join. I had been studying rudimental drumming and needed to feel the energy of the new music; English as well as American. Those Five were the best band around.
