Tom Thumb and the Casuals formed in Seattle, Washington when Blessing and Letterman recruited Wolfe from a local band, The Nomads, in 1963. They attracted sufficient interest to get a deal with Seafair-Bolo Records. Their song Movin' On got a lot of local airplay and became a local hit. In 1965 Jim Valley's brother, Steve, joined the band. They soon signed to Jerry Dennon's Panorama label. Their two resulting 45s attracted considerable airplay. During the era of Teen Fair Battles of the Bands Contests, they wound up winning one of those events. Just when their future was looking bright, tragedy struck. The band's vehicle crashed enroute to a performance in Richland, Washington. Blessing and Evans were killed. Valley was injured but recovered.
Some of these Bolo 45's came from Tom and Ellen Ogilvy's basement in the Capitol Hill area of Seattle many years ago, while others were collected along the way. Joe Boles was the Bol in Bolo while Tom Ogilvy was the O. After Tom died, Jeff acquired some from Ellen alone.
