This is going back quite a ways but I am looking for information on the band Zimmo's Thanatopsis from the late 1960's. I know that Dan Boynton (deceased) & Dan Smith...

Maybe Gary Hangartner??
Holly M. replied:
Mmmm I will have to look him up in my old year book. I knew Dave Elam because LuAnn Fulmer dated him for awhile & I knew who Dan Boynton was because I knew Gary & Mark. I remember you from back then too. Thanks Scott Tolson:-)

Mike Huffman knows a lot about Morton's early bands. I remember being in Boynton's basement listening to them practice. I think John McFarland played with them at times. Shawn Smith is on my friend list. I can contact him.
Holly M. replied:
^^ Marty was a drummer. I don't think he was in Thanatopsis. I think John McFarland (from info I am getting) was the drummer for Thanatopsis. Jeanie Dennis, No need to contact (Dan) Shawn Smith Joe Nohl is doing that for me, thanks tho:-)

John McFarland played drums for Thanatopsis..Terry Sadler was our manager for a while
Holly M. replied:
I don't know but that's a pretty good guess Barbara Siron! I just remembered, the Dave was Dave Elam. I moved to Morton in summer of 1968 but I never saw this band only heard about them. I knew of a couple people in it but was not friends with any of them. Dan Boynton's brother, Gary Boynton, was a friend of mine in high school tho.

Dale Zimmerman was my cousin....I remember all of this!!! Pretty cool!
Holly M. replied:
Thanks so much Joseph. I got a message from him so we have been in touch. I believe that the page administrator approves the people who want to join. Her name is Shasta Wilkins. Guessing she will approve him when she gets time to be on facebook.:-)
Holly M. replied:
So it is my understanding that the members of Thanatopsis that recorded at Golden Voice Recording Studio in 1968 were Dale Zimmerman, Dave Elam, Dan Boynton, (Dan) Shawn Smith, & John McFarland. As I said, this band was kind of before my time. I do remember Dream Machine a little.
Joseph N. replied:
Dan Smith is on FB as Shawn Smith, and I think he lives in Arkansas.
I found a few previous posts, but nothing really related to Alto Saxophone. My aunt is looking for a place or person that will provide lessons in the area for her...
David F. replied:
It might be good to contact Jeff Neavor, the band director at the high school, or Katrina Fitzpatrick, the band director at the Junior High. They can probably point you in a good direction.
