Captain Speed and the Fungy Electric Mothers

CAPTAIN SPEED AND THE FUNGY ELECTRIC MOTHERS

So when the Miss Winston-Salem Pageant decided to come up with the entertainment one year (probably 1968, though I don’t know that for sure), I guess they figured that the Royal Guardsmen would be a safe bet. I knew two or three of the girls who were competing, and this was my chance to see a band that I had actually heard of before. I had been to a few “battles of the bands”, even one that featured a quite good local band that had one of the coolest names ever, Captain Speed and the Fungy Electric Mothers; but I am pretty sure that this was my first real concert, and I was psyched.
