Gary Francis

Index (or the Index) was formed in the tony Detroit suburb of Grosse Pointe, Michigan in 1967 by John Ford (lead guitar and lead vocals), Gary Francis (bass and rhythm guitar) and Jim Valice (drummer and background vocals).  The copy that I have is an “authorized” release, not a bootleg; but of course, we only have their word for that.  (It reminds me of the old joke:  How many legs does a dog have if you call the tail a leg?  Answer:  Four; calling the tail a leg doesn’t make it one).
