The Myddle Class at the Excelsior House on Snyder’s Lake, NY, October 1966

The Myddle Class at the Excelsior House, October 1966, from left: Charlie (“Tony”), Dave, and Rick The Myddle Class at the Excelsior House, October 1966, Charlie (“Tony”), Dave, and Rick The Myddle Class traveled to Snyder’s Lake, near Troy, New York, to play two weekends, October 14, 15 & 16, and 21, 22 & 23 at the Excelsior House nightclub, which was then attracting college (and younger, presumably) students four to five nights a week to see acts like the Critters, the Liverpool Set and the Knickerbockers. I was astonished to find 11 snapshots taken during their time at the club, along with autographs collected from each. Hilariously, Charles Larkey is noted as “Tony” on the album pages, though he signed his autograph correctly as Charlie Larkey. The Excelsior House ran ads regularly for their shows. For the Myddle Class, some were spelled correctly, but a couple others billed them as the Middle Class.
