Bill Schintz, York photo studio owner, captured The Del-Chords during a reunion about 10 years ago.
Memories about the 1960s local rock band The Del-Chords continue to pile up.
Jim Isenberg is the latest to comment on a past Del-Chords' post about all those who made up the band over the years:
As Dave Bupp has said, The Del-Chords were comprised of a "host of characters". If memory serves, they included Dave Bupp, Bill "Cheeks" Schlosser, Jeff Hildebrand, Jere Hetrick, Edward "Buck" Generette, Otto "Spike" Sexton, Edward "Ike" Bowers, Allen "Jap" Shue, Don Sponsler, Dale Saxon, Ernie Banks, Ron Searle, and Adrian "Buddy" King. Does anyone out there have any additions or corrections?
Local ace photographer Bill Schintz e-mailed a note about the band titled "Del-Chords unfair!" ...
Every time a member of the Del-Chords would show up at the Ramona Restaurant all the girls would go bananas. When Cheeks Schlosser would drive up in his classic MG-TD wearing his Cuda jacket, blue oxford shirt, khaki pants and penny loafers, girls would go nuts. This was unfair for all the other teenage boys in town.
