Returning to Wesleyan in the Fall of 1966, the Moons made one more capital investment. Sam bought a 1955 Cadillac hearse from a hearse recycling operation in Granby , CT. Duncan was in charge of the art work, and The Moons had become "motorvated" (see photo on this web site).

The ‘66/’67 year was the last full year that the Moons played in earnest. That year was marked by amazing parties at Williams, Dartmouth and Wesleyan….a week long run at The Five Flies in Manchester, VT….and a concert at Priceton without any instruments….and all the rest.

The Moons came back to Wesleyan seven times after graduating in 1967. These "reuniouns" were in 1968,1977, 1979, 1980, 1982, 1992 and 1994. On these return engagements, "Captain" Bill Machen (formerly of "Lord Leaner and the Wild Roots") joined The Moons to handle lead guitar. Without him, somehow all those Chuck Berry tunes would not have been the same.

The recordings available from this web site are digitized versions of studio recordings from 1967, some practice tapes in 1977, and from live recordings (predominantly from Psi U’s Fall House Party in October,1980). <<back<<
