I got this note from guitarist Mike Mock on 8/24/14:
My name is Mike
Mock and I was a member of the Travelers, the other members were Bob Hunt
, Hugh Mooney, and Denny Hunter.
I played rhythm guitar Hugh played lead, Denny was our drummer and Bob was our
singer.
We were a high school band that played the teen town and private party scene.
I joined the service in 1963 and during that time I was in Boston where I met
and played with the original Johnny and the hurricanes band in a place called
Jerome's in the combat zone. I also met Joan Bias and Bob Dylan in Boston at a
party, and later met Joan in New Zealand where she came aboard ship to
entertain. Hugh joined the army and spent his enlistment playing in army bands
he later played in Reno and returned to St Louis where he continued to play in
different bands You may know more about Bobby than I, haven't seen him since I
returned from Viet Nam in 1969.I believe he was playing with
Kuban
sometime around there.
Denny hunter I spoke with in 1970 to see if he would be interested in getting
together again.
That's just a little history of an unknown band that I would love to go back and
do it again ....good memories
