l to r: David Boggess: lead vocals, organ Some comments from Jeff:
"Peter, Ed and I performed together for quite a few years, growing up on the same street. Dave and Larry, as you may have guessed, are brothers. We answered an ad for guys looking to put a band together in Pequannock, NJ. We auditioned. One of the three wasn't wanted, but we stood our ground. Our first gig actually had a front man, I believe Scott Sumner was his name.
He didn't last. |

Although he wasn't a native Trentonian, Jeff was surely one of the local music scene's favorite adopted sons! He was Wind band mate Sam Masiello's roommate while they were attending the Berkeley College of Music in Boston. They began recording demos of their original songs as "Fish & Chips" and later added the vocals and bass of Ernie White to evolve into Wind ( the name was taken from one of Jeff''s songs entitled "Wind"! ). Following the retirement of Wind. Jeff soon replaced Richie Sambora as guitarist of The Next, and later reunited with Sam Masiello to form a group called "????" with B.G. Gibson. He also was in Bobby Lenti's Blue Eyes and a long list of other bands! |
Wind held a pre-release listening party
in October 1977 when they put out their single |
