Another Farquahr comment from Jerry...
The Fabulous Farquahr started as The Avalons in Branford in the late 50's or early 60's. They had one record "Daddy, I Cried" that got some local play. They eventually met up with Doug Lapham and became "Doug Lapham and the McGowan Bros". They became a fixture for awhile at the Hofbrau Haus on Chapel St. in New Haven (Yale Univ area). That led to the Fabulous Farquahr act which entertained many, many fans for several years around CT and the Cape. In addition to My Eggs, My Island and John Deere, I really enjoyed Carol, You're the Bottom of the Barrel. Sorry to hear that we have lost 2 of the brothers too soon.
