After the breakup of "These Odds & Ends", the remaining guys (probably Joe and me) formed Witchcraft. Most of the music we played was blues and rock. Joe always could belt out great blues such as Statesboro Blues. We were the first band to start playing at a joint which became known as the "Friends and Players Tavern" in Rochester (corner of Goodman and Clinton, I believe). The place as small and I remember we played right next to the restrooms, especially the guys room. When they had to go, we shifted around but we all made it work. After us, many bands played there. It was a small bar which was packed when we played.

The core group was made up of the following:

Me - Bass
Ray Beliza - lead guitar
Joe Pelingra - lead vocals
Ronnie Inferinato - Drums

Larry Raymo - head setup, fill in guy!!

We may have started with John (from the Odds and Ends) on piano but not for long.

The following was a poster Ray drew and I printed:



You can check individual pictures on the Witchcraft Photo page.

Joe was the photographer in the group (and still is a professional photographer). We wanted to do a cemetery shot with fog, etc. He had a girl lined up and one morning when the weather was right (fog), he calls us to the local cemetery with the chick!! Great poster. Not sure any remain.

I will have some live songs posted later. We did a recording live
