John Fazakerly, Former Untouchable Road Mgr.

I first met Dodie and Geri in August of 1966 at a Beatles Concert at JFK Stadium in Philadelphia.  Shortly afterwards, Dodie and I started dating.  I met the rest of the band and was knocked out at how great they were! I would go to Princeton on weekends or whenever I could get up there.  I lugged their equipment and helped them set up.  I may have booked a gig or two for a frat party or something but that would have been incidental.  I'd also watch out for them at their gigs because sometimes the crowds got loaded and rowdy.  My friend Denny Bourke from the band - "The Effects", was there at times because he dated Geri for a while.  I was very much in their lives from August '66 til about the end of '67, or so.  Dodie and I moved on before the band broke up.
