Ophelia Swing Band

[Charles E.]

Before Tim O'brian joined the bluegrass band Hot Rise, he played with the Ophelia Swing Band.........



This is from a reunion in the early 80's.

Neat. I have their record somewhere, they did the cool little tune Cadillac The Town In My Model A.

[Joel Glassman]

Cadillac in Model A is actually on Tim's "Guess Who's in Town" The complete recording is on Youtube:

[Bill McCall]

I believe Red Knuckles also recorded it.

[Paul Kotapish]

I still have the original LP on vinyl. Killer version of "Blue Eagle" in medley with "Jack of Diamonds."

[Pete Martin]

This was one of the first albums I bought when looking for string band music. Still one of my favorites. The "Messerschmidts" joke is still one I tell.

Biscuit City records put of some very cool stuff in their day. Still have a number of them. Tim's solo album from them was great as was City Limits band with Lynn Morris, etc...
