MORE INFORMATION ABOUT SAWDUST: This pop/rock release features an organist (for a taste of the Doors sound), great vocals, strong harmonies, and a pair of suberb original melodies that bring back the psychedelic 60s in all their glory. Band members included Paul Henry, Clyde Hodgkin, Paul Roy, Jimmy Cass, and Don Gauthier. The original name of the group was The Reasons Why, but feeling the name was "too 50s", they changed it to Sawdust. This record was produced by Eddie Boucher on his own record label (EAB is an acronym for his name). Eddie is the grandfather of the Lewiston garage band scene that emerged in the early 1960s. Boucher began as the leader of the Royal Knights surf band whose records are highly sought after by collectors. After the Knights disbanded, Boucher managed bookings for dozens of other Maine bands and owned a recording studio for more than 20 years. The number of talented singers and musicians that surfaced in Lewiston, Maine during this period is highly unusual given the relatively small size of the city. Many of the band members were of Franco-American heritage, with a strong music culture dating back many generations. Although few of them fashioned permanent careers in the music industry, the era of the Central Maine garage bands is forever preserved on vinyl. Fortunately, it was the fashion at that time to make your own record - and the existence of a small, independent, and affordable recording studio with a genius owner/producer brought it all together.
