The band
was formed as the Majestics in 1963 by Doug McCutcheon- keyboards, Larry Meese-
guitar; and John Kirkpatrick- drums, Bill Emery on bass and Dante Rossi- rhythm
guitar joined in July of 1964. They were renamed the Dantes, then the Tulu
Babies, then finally the Baskerville Hounds. Active from 1964 through 1972,
the band became WHK radio's house band for major acts. They opened for The
Rolling Stones, Sonny & Cher, Beach Boys, Dave Clark 5, and many other top
acts. Mike Macron replaced John Kirkpatrick on drums after he was drafted
in 1966. Several other musicians joined because of military service; Jack
Topper on Keyboards; Tom Evans on bass; Wayne Hritz on guitar. Bobby Dillinger
replaced Mike Macron on drums in early 70's and was in reformed Hounds of
1980's. The band has had three chart singles on Billboard, one album, one
CD, plus many unreleased recordings, several TV appearances, the Upbeat Show
and Mike Douglas Show included. They have one movie soundtrack to their credit,
"Hurtin' Kind", as the Tulu Babies, in the British-made crime thriller "Gangster
No. 1". Their recordings are regularly heard on classic rock radio stations.
