Mark with Silver Laughter Cavern Club Moline, IL 1975
Here are a couple more photos sent to me by Mark Zaputil who left the group shortly after I arrived and was replaced by Ken Wiles.
The first is a photo near the end of his tenure with Silver Laughter playing drums at the Cavern Club in Moline, IL.
As I have explained before, Mark played drums while Kim played the electric piano during “Color My World” which Jon sang. I am on the right playing bass. Could Ken have been in the audience that night?
Mark Zaputil at St. Ambrose party
This second photo is one of Mark on his Gibson SG guitar playing with Silver Laughter at a St. Ambrose College party, probably at a fraternity house around 1974 before I was in the band.
It looks like Kim with a beard on drums, and that’s Jon’s back on the right side of the photo. Look at all those Fender amps!

Mick: I believe we played together in SL for 8 months before I left the band, my last gig with SL was at a Ramada Inn at Des Moines, Iowa July of 1975.
