These
two songs are the two sides of the Rock 'n' Roll record made while at the Academy.
Three of the band members were in the Class of '66, one was in '67 and two in
'68. The group was The Flameouts. We flew to Hollywood in a very classy
VIP T-29 (wazzat? C-131?) the Academy kept hidden at Pete Field, and made the
record at Columbia Studios in Hollywood. The record came out June week, 1966,
and sold out immediately in Colorado. The Academy then changed their mind and
decided not to press any more records, lest the public complain tax payers $$
were being wasted. Cadets should be marching and studying and learning to be officers,
not playing Rock 'n' Roll. (Dan
