JIM McMAINS FINDS SAIGON KIDS™

Submitted by Jim McMains (ACS)

I just Googled myself and found this blog.

I had no idea all this was going on, but I know Glenn Parker tracked Bootsie down through my other half, Steven McMains. If you don’t already know, Boots & Glenn have reunited in Cocoa Beach, FL.

As for the McMains boys, all 3 of us, Michael “Mick”, Steven “Moose” and myself are living in the Los Angeles area and are performing as The McMains Brothers (I was rooting for “The Hyperventilaters”, but got out-voted) in the area.

I’ve been working at Musicians Institute in Hollywood for the past 23 years. Mick runs his own Recording studio and online Sheet Music business in El Monte.

    Jim,
    When were you in Saigon? I was there from Jan. of 1963 until June of 1964. I played saxophone in the school band (I was 13-14) under the baton of Mrs. Schaffer, and went on to become a career musician. My wife is a musician also (she taught Voice at Berklee College of Music for 36 years), and we both worked in and around Boston for over 40 years before moving to Carlsbad, CA, last year.
    Are you going to the reunion?
    You can reach me at les@saxoasis.com
    Take Care,
    Les Arbuckle
