the Challengers


Findlay, 1964-5

This band included Bob Peeler (guitar), Roger Hilty (drums), Kenny Turner (bass) and Gary Reddick (keyboards). They recorded a 45 for the Fabar label at Magnetic - a cover of Buddy Holly's "Rave On" and an instrumental written by Gary Reddick called "Monkey Man". The band played clubs like Club 224.

Bob Peeler left and Whitey Gwinup joined on guitar and the band became the American Ways, later the Other Ones and the Turfits.
