The Roemans - a 1960's Florida band
For those of you that were around in the 1960's and especially those that lived in Florida, you may remember a band called "The Roemans".

Tommy Roe's backing band put out the above 45s and were not reticent about their British Invasion-style 'folk-rock' influences to the extent that you'd swear they were The Searchers!
Joe Pappalado's first wife created a scrap book from the touring days. I'm very appreciated of her work in putting all this information together and I have started to transfer some of the scrapbook to a website:

Great to see a blog on the Roemans. Is it still alive.

I never heard back, but it was very much alive. So we did Biographies on Dylan, David Crosby, Eric Clapton, Bob Marley and a few others, and it ran it on History Channel, A & E, Biography and I think Ovation. I still have a project we want to do and that is the Cities That Rocked the World and Te Bands that changed them I loved the Roemans, It is a shame to see all of the History and the major influence Atlanta had on the music scene around the world die out with time.

All the people mentioned Cotton, Allan and Mary have passed along with Ray Whitley and other parts of a rich history in Atlanta music but there are still so many around that could help you if you're interested. I can lead you to some of those people if you're still interested. Darryl Rhoades sunglass@mindspring.com
In 1967 or 1968, the Roemans played the Cow Palace in Fond du Lac, Wisc. Was there a musician named "Teddy" playing with them? Berry Oakley asked my friend,Barb La Plante, to see him a cape because she was wearing a brown one she made. She did and it is on the cover of one of their albums! We also went out with them that night.

Sadly Joe Guinn passed away any years ago. I went to school with him in New Port Richey.
