"Boston Tea Party" Plaque Dedication Ceremony hosted by Gary Sohmers featuring speeches & interviews with Peter Wolf, Tim Jackson, Dinky Dawson & others. MMONE celebrated the 40th anniversary of The Boston Tea Party, the legendary 1960s rock ballroom, with a gathering of 100 Boston-area music people on 1/24/17. At that event The Bostonian Society unveiled an historical marker to be placed on the building at 53 Berkeley Street (at the corner of Appleton Street in the South End) which was the original home of the Tea Party. Since 1907 the Society has placed over 140 markers at historic sites, and this was the first time a music venue was so honored.  The event was held next door at 41 Berkeley Street, in the lobby of the Benjamin Franklin Institute of Technology. In addition to the marker, highlights of the ceremony included Don Law’s tales of the Tea Party; a statement by Peter Wolf, and the presentation of a generous donation to MMONE by concert memorabilia collector and archivist David Swartz. The “good vibes” evident that day reminded everyone of the atmosphere that made the Tea Party such a special place.

Part two of interview with Ted Dewart, guitarist, leader & main songwriter & Billy Corelle, bassist & songwriter from Teddy & The Pandas. They were both interviewed separately. Before they were called Teddy and the Pandas, this Beverly, MA-based, poppy sounding garage quintet was known as the Sensations, formed in 1963 with Al Lawrence (vocals), Billy Corelle (bass), Ralph Cooper (drums), Joe Daly (guitar), and Dick Winters (sax). In short order, keyboardist Dick Guerrette was added, and Winters left, replaced by guitarist Teddy Dewart. Playing mostly covers, along with a few originals, they got plenty of gigs at local school dances. A 1965 visit to Ace Recording Studio in Boston resulted in two original songs: “Once Upon a Time” backed with “Bye Bye (Out the Window).” The record — first on the Coristine label, then rereleased on Musicor — was a local hit on WBZ and WMEX. They recorded a 10-song 1968 album Basic Magnetism on Capitol’s subsidiary, Tower Records. By this time, Dewart had left the band to go to college, and was replaced by guitarist Paul Rivers, but Dewart contributed to the album and got a “guest artist” credit. The album went nowhere, and in 1969, Corelle and Rivers left to form the band Doctor Feelgood (not to be confused with the British pub rockers), reuniting with Sensations members Winters and Cooper, releasing one album, 1971’s Something To Take Up Time. (taken from the Music Museum of New England website written by Ed Symkus) Ted currently lives in Philedelphia & Billy currently plays bass with the North Shore based band Peacework along with former Dr Feelgood drummer Ralph Cooper, who was also part of the interview. Produced by Mike Hoban & Lenny Scolletta.  Original interview: Glenn Matto, Voice Over credits: Scott Catton, Theme song written by Tom Abbott, Performed by Battery Bridge Editor:  Lenny Scolletta, Special Thanks: Patrick Gordon & Medford Community Media.  For more info go to: http://mmone.org Questions?
