The Executives – Tom Kelley is second from the right

“Keeping the ’60’s alive” is the motto of the band, The Executives. Tom Kelley was the lead guitarist and singer/songwriter with me in the Todd Beat Group from Davenport, Iowa while we were still in high school. Today his band is dedicated to playing hits from the 1960’s.

Since they also cover the Beatles from their home base in Wisconsin, I offered to post one of their cover tunes here on the website. Silver Laughter is all about music, and this is some good stuff. We hope you enjoy this cover of “Please Please Me”.
