My dad was in a Pop Group called "the Bye Laws"
in the late 60s ..
they had a couple of hits and quite a hardcore
following from what I've heard
.."run baby run" and "then you can tell me
goodbye" ..covers ..you know ..
they'd play the charts in dance halls but
he
enjoyed an insular sort of fame for a time
..I think it was in the paper when
he got married .my dad ..he loved it ..you
know ..and often tells stories about the glory days
and how they (the Bye Laws) very nearly became
"Edison Lighthouse"
(Edison Lighthouse were the band that fronted
the popular 70s hit
"Love grows where my Rosemary goes") .
