INMATES
Ft. Lauderdale, Florida
1962-1964
Just friends and neighbors who got together to jam. The Inmates (for that locked in sound) transformed into the Bachs Topps before the real group with different spelling came along. None of them knew music really but had a blast learning just enough songs to make fools of themselves. They are great memories and still a conversation piece.
