Steve and The Goodtimes
From sometime in the 90's I believe. Debi on vocals, Mardel and Richard on sax's, Bobby on bass, Billy on drums me on guitar.
This was the last jam of 2018 at Lady Luck on Dec 30, hosted by Steve and the Goodtimes. Heidi on vocals, Ken S. on drums, Carol on keys, Ken H. on bass and me on guitar.
This is the first song I recorded at Parkland Chevrolet in Tacoma in 1996. We were playing at a car show, the place was packed, cars filled the side lot, lots of people. Boom Boom Billy is vocals, Bobby O. on bass, me on guitar, Steve was wandering around! This is also the only song to survive. Shortly after this song the machine was bumped and a loud buzz is recorded on the rest of it. Even on side B of the tape. Much later found a bad cable for a recording mic.
Halloween jam 2018 at Lady Luck in Tacoma. Steve and the Goodtimes doing Sixteen Candles with Mardel sitting in on sax. The band is starting to sound complete though we still need some work!
July 4th with Steve and the Goodtimes at the Eagles #3 on So. Tacoma ave. Kim singing Tush. One of the few songs with a decent recording!
The again revamped Steve and The Goodtimes hosting an open mic at the Lady Luck on Pacific Hwy So. Tacoma.
This was recorded at either So. Tacoma Eagles or Spanapark Eagles at an event with many musicians. Sunny on keys, Jack on slide, Tom on guitar, Bobby on bass, Billy on Drums, Mardel on alto sax, Richard on tenor sax, Steve vocals, maybe even Debi on guitar and vocals too, if I forgot anyone, sorry, it has been a while and I didn't label to much! The Pics are various old ones of the Goodtimes throughout the years.
Another song from our very last gig at the Black Diamond Eagles! Don't play too loud, especially when it's an empty house!
Friday Oct 28th our last performance at the Black Diamond Eagles. A couple of dancers, the only ones there from the club, and they wanted to charge the band $1.00 for a glass of water!! We always had a few people with us!
The Goodtimes with Gimmie 3 Steps and the Girls dancing again!
Steve and the Goodtimes do a rendition of Goodnight my Love. And of course the girls love dancing!
At the Black Diamond Eagles, the girls love to dance! A great song by Sam the Sham & the Pharaohs!
Steve and the Goodtimes at the Black Diamond Eagles. A club member asked if we could do "I Feel Good" by James Brown, he wanted to sing, so after a little discussion, this is the result! He did sing it better than we played it! Notice our guest singer has the moves too!
Steve and the Goodtimes doing, When the House is a Rockin, at the Black Diamond Eagles. I know the girls couldn't wait to see themselves dancing on youtube. That is Vickie with her two Granddaughters.

Just as it says, Halloween at Jeepers when it was still open. Michael sittin in on the drums! Probably a song or two he never played before. I think he's an incredible young man, for his few years on the drums!
Steve and the Goodtimes doing Goodnight my Love. I picked this one to remember Bobby by because, you can really hear the bass, and all of us were there, Steve, Billy, Bobby, Tom, Mardel, Richard and Debi. We all miss you Bobby, You were my anchor on stage and made the Goodtimes memorable for all time. Thank you.
A compilation of pictures throughout the years of William (boom boom Billy) McCollum (b: 17 January 1953 - d: 24 December 2010) with Steve and The Goodtimes, singing Johnny B Goode. We all miss you Billy.
