SPINNERS
Nashville, TN

Tom McGee, rhythm guitar & lead vocals
Jim Craig, lead guitar & lead vocals
Leighton “Bubba” Cammuse, tenor sax.
The band gigged pretty heavy from 1965 until late 1968.
They played the typical circuit of Vandy frats, the Towers, the Dog House, Don’s Den, Pirates Cove, Ryan Teen Town, and the occasional auto show, club, or private party. The band was devoted to playing R & B but caved in later and added some of the more gutsy English Invasion stuff. You know, Animals, Zombies and the like. In 1967 they added a great lead singer in the form of Vandy student John Hall and a really ass-kicking B3 player also from Vandy named Rich Weinstein. He could do anything with the B3 except haul it!
