They was called “Blackhander”…. They have been disbanded now for many years. If you check my other video’s there is another one of the band playing an original called “Work it Out” ✌🏼

Sorry it was over 10 years ago. Even more changes since I filmed this. Glad you liked it! ✌🏼😊

@Tbug666 I go back all the time so have seen the changes. I grew up on West side up on View Ave from 1966 to 1988...as kids we walked all over Fairmont! I loved your video!

@@mozone4761 Let me ask you this. Back in 1980 through 1983 I had a rock band that played the Fairmont area. Also Monongah and specifically The Meadowbrook Club and the Prime Time club. The band’s name was East Bound Ramp. Was wondering if you ever seen and heard us. You might have been too young. 😂✌🏼

I remember those names. The loading dock was always high traffic and I hated working there, especially in the winter time. Freezing cold and often filled up with trucks. Cool you did that.

I just checked out your channel and I see you play guitar and sing. That’s cool, because I do the same thing, but not to the same degree as you do. I just listen to one song and it sounded really good. I used to play in a rock band back in the early 1980s but then I got a job at the glass factory and pretty much had to give that all up. I am following you now.

Check out a few songs I either wrote or just sang on using my channel. The song Sweet Home West Virginia was the one I wrote as a joke actually but it got the most views after the years. 😂

Crazy huh? Yes it’s very true because I was around and alive when it happened.

I believe they closed down many years ago.

No they're not there now. I've not been there since 2016. But as of then, it was Gabes Warehouse. It may or may not still be what's there.

Awesome story! Sounds like an amazing family! My dad was born in 1920. Italian heritage. ✌🏼🇭🇺

Great! My band played that club once around 1982.

@@Tbug666 what was the name of your band? do you know Randy Harris

@@davidsummers4802 Yes I do know Randy. In fact he bought my Gibson Explorer back in early 1984. I think his band was called “Marauder” but I could be wrong. My band was East Bound Ramp. We played Fairmont area and mainly The Meadowbrook.

@@Tbug666 Cool. Randy used to be my brother in-law. i Married his wife's Beth's sister. We have probably cross paths back in day.

The cab rocked

Thank you! Glad you liked it!✌🏼

kzbin.info/www/bejne/aKK4q2t7pNmCmKs Here’s a video tour about 2 years ago of the Middletown Mall in Fairmont. Really sad. It was built in the late 60s according to this video.

@@Tbug666 They have been rebuilding it which makes me happy!

Well I lived here since 1962 so over the years I knew most of the small town. 😊 I forget more as the years go by and so many passed away. It’s sad sometimes to see so much change but we can’t control it.

I meant joe and lucille toth

That’s funny... I live by her son Robert Toth. He has been my neighbor since the early 1960’s. I was just a kid then but still live here. I think he’s in his lower 80s in age. Take care. Good people

That's my uncle bobby and aunt glenda his sister my mother nancy passed away a few years ago I need to get out there and see them d

@@rickhissen1904 That’s great. Their son Chris was my best friend and still is. The best neighbor’s anyone could ask for and Glenda can work like she’s in her 40s. You come from a good line of people. For some reason your name sounds familiar. Keep in touch

@@Tbug666 just watching your videos again how are you doing hope you are well Rick hissen

Thank you very much from West Virginia! 🙏🏼👍🏼✌🏼

Yes, it did the same thing for me when it happened. 😂 I just sat there thinking, Now what?

Thank you much! This was only my 7th actual flight and truly each time I see so many cool things I think I get too excited and start getting brave. I have another good video I need to post from that day where I took my drone much further away over a newer housing area in the country. Stay tuned! 😂👍🏼👍🏼✌🏼🇺🇸
