Thanks for posting those comments! Our thanks to Terry Barner of Missouri S&T for his awesome effort at putting this article and producing the embedded videos! JMC50 will play at the Class of ’69 Golden Reunion in May ’19 – and we’re looking forward to having as much fun as we did last May. We just had a gig at my 50th high school reunion in STL, and have had a couple of nice fundraisers in Houston! We are really enjoying this re-incarnation of the Rolla days. And Jim, you’re right about the struggles to afford college back in those days! Not sure how we would have made it without the Jaguars and Miller’s Cave. If any Alumni want to get (or stay) in touch, our Facebook page is http://www.facebook.com/jmc50band!

Hi David. Thanks for the kind words. I enjoyed two careers after Rolla, flying for the Air Force and then teaching but not much in terms of playing music, until now at least. Maybe we can play for your 50th!

Loved it..would recommend sending link out on email to all who attended. Hard to believe, but many are not on FaceBook..
Recommending to younger alumni to attend their 50th!
Thanks for great planning and execution of entire event.

This brings back memories, too. Bill Meeker ’68 was the older brother of my best pal Bob Meeker from North KC HIgh. Bill gave me a lot of pointers for how to survive Rolla that really helped, and I often wondered about him as I saw he had become a Math teacher- a great one I expect.
The 60’s were a tough time for most of us students and this is a wonderful report card on the musicians.
