033: Tim Gehrlein

They were just a bunch of high school kids, but in the mid to late 1960s in Erie, The Calientes were one of the most popular bands around. The band's bassist, Tim Gehrlein, tells how the band got started and played everywhere from North Warren hospital to tons of high school dances and even frat parties. Then, in 1969, they broke up and didn't reunite until 45 years later!
