| Like many of their contemporaries in the San Franciscan rock movement of
the time, the Chocolate Watch Band was given to experimentation. What
set them apart from most of those other bands was their respect for the
pioneering artists of rock and roll. Though their recorded repertoir
consisted largely of original songs, the band never hesitated to utilize
worthwhile material from extraneous sources. Fiathful covers of such
classics as Hank Ballards Lets Go, Lets Go, Lets Go, the Kinks
Im Not Like Everybody Else, Ray Charles I Dont Need No Doctor,
Chuck Berrys Come On, Wilson Picketts In the Midnight Hour and Bob
Dylans Baby Blue all made their way onto vinyl, fitting in comfortably
alongside such unlikely group compositions as Devils Motorcycle,
Fireface and Uncle Morris. |
| Because of the thickness of the beads, you have to make the length of
the band slightly longer than your flat watch band. I had to take
mine apart and add two extra beads for comfort. |
| One such group was the Chocolate Watch Band. Consisting of Sean Tolby,
Mark Loomis, Danny Phay, Gary Andrijasevich and vocalist Dave Aguilar,
the Chocolate Watch Band began in 1965 as a Rolling Stones copy band,
playing at dances and on the local club circuit. Over the course of the
coming year, the band indulged in the many extremities of the San
Francisco rock and roll experience, developing a highly original sound in
the process. The band was signed to Tower in 1966, though their debut
single, Baby Blue/Sweet Young Thing (released in December of that
year) was mysteriously assigned to Towers subsidiary rhythm and blues
label, Uptown. |
| : I just bought a Casio analog dive watch and would like to use it for
: scuba. Unfortunately, the resin (rubber) watchband is at least 1
: too short to fit around my wrist when Im in a 1/4 wetsuit. Does
: anyone have any suggestions about how I could modify the watch, its
: location, or the band so that I can use it.
: BTW: I dont need to hear from folks trying to sell me on a different
: watch. I like this one (model 343) for everyday use, and I have a
: replacement warrenty if it does happen to flood while Im diving.
: I just dont want to loose it, so I need to figure out where/how
: to secure it! |
