About Keeno

In 1968 I lived in Charlotte MI and was in a band of high school friends called the Rock of Ages.  We played the usual dances -- but mostly in the garage.  In 1973 while in the US Army in Germany I was in a band called Rico and the Deacons with a saxophone playing soldier and two German guys.  We played the NATO NCO clubs and sampled the German beer.  I must also mention The Beans.  I don't have a photo but we did record Long Neck Bottles.  These were some interesting fellows I met in the "WMU Ghetto" in 1975.  They didn't like the name I gave us but I insisted that "The Captain" be saluted.  In 1978 I was an original member of another band in Kalamazoo, MI called The Blast Band.  We did top 40 Rock and Roll and had a wild time.  Then in 1982 I helped reform Johnny Apollo and the Saturn Seven.  I wrote some songs for the show and saw many different characters come and go over the years.  In 1998 I decided to take an extended vacation from the stage life.  Now I write and record original songs in my  basement studio with friends & family.
