Chad & Jeremy were a British pop duo of the mid-1960s.
As part of the British invasion, they recorded about 75 songs had a string of hits in America from 1964-1966. They're best known for such tunes as "A Summer Song", "Yesterday's Gone", and "Distant Shores".
In 1967, though their hitmaking days were done, they began to create more serious and adventurous music that is little-remembered today.
This British sixties music duo was always a favorite of mine.
A home page for Kansas City's premiere Ragtime society. I was formerly on their Board of Directors, and still contribute articles to their newsletter, "The Revelry Rag", which are archived here.

Music: My Collection
Liner Notes from my Mix Tapes - Like many people who love music, I love to make my own custom tapes to listen to. But here's the kicker. I write my own liner notes for them! Mostly about rare Sixties music. But some Ragtime, too. Check it out!

Music: Ragtime
You can listen to Scott Joplin's immortal Ragtime waltz, "Bethena" here.
Mary Haley's Ragtime - Combining European harmonics with African rhythms, Ragtime music was the first "popular" music in our country. Scott Joplin's "Maple Leaf Rag" sold over a million copies! It would have been a gold record had there been records. It was sheet music, instead. Find out more about it at this site. Especially, follow the links to the MIDI files. Ragtime is especially well-suited to MIDI performances.
John Roache's Ragtime MIDI Library - I first encountered John's Ragtime music files when I owned a Commodore-64, and they were amazinglygood! Just imagine what he has been able to do with MIDI. This is a great looking site!
Kansas City Ragtime & Beyond - A Kansas City non-profit organization established in 1993 dedicated to the promotion and preservation of ragtime and early jazz history and music.
Music: Rock & Pop
The Monkees Fan Site - Sixties music rules. I won't put a ton of links to sixties bands, but this one holds a special place for me. Also, their home page is terrific. A tragically under-rated group.
The Harpers Bizarre (Wikipedia) - If only! Why this marvelous sixties group doesn't have a fan page is beyond me. Maybe now that their new anthology CD "Feelin' Groovy" is out, there will be. Drop me a line if you hear of one. Until then, here's their entry at Wikipedia.
Al Stewart Online - Al Stewart is a Scottish singer/songwriter, best known for his hit "The Year of the Cat." He writes very literate songs, often with many layers of meaning and historical references and metaphors. One of the things he does best is to combine a historical situation with a personal one.
60's British Rock Chronology - And for those who want to know about the British Invasion groups of the sixties, this is a great place to learn.
The Ultimate Disney Link Page - for the Disney-obsessed. (I got to meet Frank Thomas and Ollie Johnston once. I actually shook the hand that had drawnThumper!)
The Avengers - next to U.N.C.L.E., this was the coolest sixties spy show.
Alta Vista (Formerly AltaVista Technology, Inc.) - my favorite search engine.
[WM Note - from Wikipedia: AltaVista was a web search engine established in 1995. It became one of the most-used early search engines, but lost ground to Google and was purchased by Yahoo! in 2003, which retained the brand, but based all AltaVista searches on its own search engine. On July 8, 2013, the service was shut down by Yahoo!, and since then the domain has redirected to Yahoo!'s own search site.]
Friends
Actually, I do have more friends than this, but few of them have personal home pages yet. But more will be coming soon, I'm sure.
