Jordirip Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 someone on the other forum pointed out that the bassist is wearing half a shirt... I think they should have paid more attention to the fact he's the guitarist and not the bassist. Come to think of it, he's probably the guy responsible for the legendary Tighten Up guitar line, so he can wear what the f@ck he likes in my book. 3 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Guest Dave Turner Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 Name was a conjuction of Texas Southern University (not State) and the Oldsmobile Toronado. The Toronadoes first formed in 1965 while attending Texas Southern University, where founding members Burns, Hopper and Robert "Cush" Sanders (organ) all happened to live in the same dormitory. Taking their name from their school and the sporty two-door Oldsmobile model (which used the same body type as the Cadillac Eldorado), they recruited Lewis, James Doss (trumpet), Cal Thomas (lead guitar/vocals) and 16-year-old bassist Peter Newman for TSU's spring 1966 talent show.
