EXOTICS
Nashville, Tennessee
They all live within 20 miles of Nashville. Glenn, the bass player and lead singer, retired from the Post Office in Franklin last year after working there 32 years. Billy, the guitar player, has his own music production company called ABS productions. Loy, the drummer, sell real estate. Jeff, the organ and sax player, works in sales. All of the Exotics are still active in music and still play together today.

The Exotics remember playing on tennis courts, patios, driveways, Uptight club in Goodlettsville, Willow Plunge in Franklin, gymnasiums all over, country clubs, Alabama, Georgia, Kentucky, Arkansas and several summers in Daytona Beach and the "Safari" Motel. There they swapped sets with the Allman Joys. They also were the back up band for the "Spidells." They were one of the first "Soul" music groups in Nashville
