editI thought The Frost was from Alpena, Michigan, they use to play at the Grande Ballroom, Eastown Ballroom and the Red Carpet. Bobby Rigg had a band called The Bobby Rigg band, which would come to the Detroit Metro area to play at the RustyNail. 4.229.75.99 01:24, 4 February 2007 (UTC)Last I heard Dick Wagner was living in Saginaw Michigan working at his recording studio. Last I heard the rest of them where living back in Alpena.
I don't believe they were from Flint, my own hometown. In the early 80s, they were playing (without Dick Wagner) in Alpena, but I don't know that they were from there originally.
I believe you are correct and The Frost was from Alpena. I remember them playing at our Junior High dances (Thunder Bay Junior High). They opened The Underground Bar in Ypsilanti in 1971 and played off and on as "house" band till '74. I used to fish with Don in the Devil River in Ossineke
This comes from a very realible source. The 4 original starting members of The Frost were Dick Wagner, Donny Hartman, Bobby Riggs and Jack Smolinski. Donny, Bobby and Jack were from Alpena. Jack left the band early after starting. That's when Ralph Pinkerton joined. Ralph left and that's when Gordy joined. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.188.165.111 (talk) 17:10, 22 July 2011 (UTC)
Gordy Garris information
editI've now twice removed unsourced personal information concerning him. Negative, embarrassing, or controversial information about a living person must have an inline citation (like a footnote) to a high-quality reliable source as defined by Wikipedia (not what the plain-English or common-sense meaning of that term might be). A reliable source as defined by WP is, a "reliable, third-party, published sources with a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy". Unpublished materials such as medical records cannot be used. This is not a question of copyright, it's a question of what Wikipedia requires to support that kind of information. Reinserting that kind of information after you've been made aware of it can cause your account or IP address to be blocked from editing. Regards, TransporterMan (TALK) 18:27, 31 July 2014 (UTC)
Release Year for "Rock and Roll Music" LP
editThe article currently has the release year for "Rock and Roll Music" as 1970. This appears to be incorrect as it entered the Billboard charts on November 29, 1969 (from the Top 200 Albums page on billboard.com for November 29, 1969) which has "Rock and Roll Music" at position 191 saying it is new on the chart. This corresponds to the December 27, 1969 Billboard issue archived here (page 47) and also here (page 48) where the album has now been on the charts for 5 weeks and is at position 152. The discography on Dick Wagner's official site also has the release year as 1969.
I will update the article accordingly.
