Mark on stage with Silver Laughter in Hastings NE 1975

This photo had to be taken at my first job with Silver Laughter. As I recall, Hastings, NE was my initial performance. It was cold, I remember that!

We had to put together several sets of cover songs to get me up to speed, so we focused on The Kinks, The Beatles, some old Motown songs like “Mustang Sally” and one or two that I had done with The Contents Are: like “Long Train Running” and “For What It’s Worth”.

Here is Mark Zaputil onstage at that venue playing lead and singing. That looks like his Gibson SG.
