SAM SWISHER
A saxophonist named Sam Swisher was added next, just in time for their first paying performance, at a school dance. Jim McLaughlin’s father had a home studio, and the Iguanas recorded an instrumental there soon after.
After two more bandmembers joined up by 1964, Nick Kolokithas (guitar) and Don Swickerath (bass), the quintet became a popular local band, playing teen clubs, dances, and frat parties.
