Remember Commander Cody and the Lost Planet Airmen! Found a couple of old records by them! They were fun to listen to, out of Austin Texas!

Yeah, very fondly remembered.

I knew Bill Kirchen, the guitar player....remember

"Down to seeds and stems blues"?

Anyway, Bill continues the same kinda music in the D.C. area music scene. Last band of his I recall was,"Bill Kirchen and Too Much Fun"....still great stuff.

This ol' fogey is old enough to remember the ORIGINAL Commander Cody (the TV series). He flew around with a jet pack on his back.

Glad to see the postings regarding an 70's swing band that got their roots from Bob Wills and the Texas Playboys (no I never saw them, they were far too old a group) who were really something. The swing music of the early 30's and 40's evolved to Topall Glaszer and then to the great Commander Cody!

Saw them at The Bottom Line in NYC back when you could still smoke ( whatever you wanted ) in a club in that town.

Not out of Austin, Texas!

Commander Cody aka George Frayne put the band together with fellow students at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. He's still touring a few months a year.
