DON & JON- In the Back of My Mind (Beelee 100)
The psychedelic sound of post-'66 was headed in one of two directions as the 70s dawned... it was either getting harder and crunchier or getting more twee and soft. For the Price Brothers of Alamogordo the direction was certainly soft. This release from May of 1969 features originals by the brothers on both sides, both being in the same acoustic style, though "In The Back of My Mind" bears more instrumentation. And both are fairly strong efforts for 16 or 17 year olds. Not too hard to imagine the two perched atop stools at the Spring 1969 talent show in the Alamogordo High auditorium.
(The Sacramento Mtns. to the east of Alamogordo)The Price Twins were picked up by Capitol where they did some songwriting and there was a faith-based lp released in the 70s. The tropically attired brothers were last seen serenading vacationers on the beaches of sunny Cozumel, Mexico.

I took guitar lessons from Don and Jon price in around 1971. I stayed with it and play guitar all the time now 40 years later.
Their dad, was my 6th grade teacher. Thanks for the blast from the past. I used to have that little 45... I remember their song well. Mark Petticord, Seattle, WA
