Possibly you could write a screenplay. If interested, I can send you a script writer's outline. Follow the steps and you'll have a screenplay done in three weeks.

Tor,
Saw your pic of the "Savages" on my wife's FB. She is "Friends" with John Sarlo..she of MHS Class of 69..her name then, Diana Stewart. I am Bill Yergin, MHS 67. When I saw it I called Tony Bouchard and spoke to him..he and I were in the "Specs" together at MHS and have kept up with each other these last few years. I loved reading your history of bands in the 60s. I gabe tony you link so he could read it as well. I don't know if you are aware that in the "Specs" was also Marc Ellis. During the summer of 1968, he and I and four other guys from the Suffern, NY area formed a band that was signed to a record deal that summer and we went on to release two LPs that were released in 1968 and 1969. The band was the "Rainbow Press" and the LPs were "There's a War On" and "Sunday Funnies" Both are considered collectors items, sold all over the world and have been bootlegged on vinyl in Europe and well as bootlegged on CD in England and Spain. If you are so interested to read more about our exploits that summer, you can go to my present band's website www.Bluesmatic.com and click on my Bio and there is a link there to an on line interview I did a couple years ago about the little known history of the band. Keep playing..there was an incredible array of musical talent at MHS in those years. Bill

Tor,
I just read your first book and it was extremely informative and easy to understand. I am not much the sailor with only a few excursions over the years and moost did not go well due to lack of skill...but I have grown up on power boats and have lived on the water in NJ for the last 20 years, which is currently frozen. I am dreaming of a nautical adventure and reading your book was the first step in learning more about what I need to know. You have certainly lead a charmed life and seemed to have lived several different lives all at the same time. Good for you!

Thanks for a wonderful read!

The Chains played my home town Deming,NM in I beleive 1968. I had band, we were all there, and you guys were really great. We got there(The Rose Room)early, and you guys didn't blow us off as a bunch of kids probably asking way too many questions like how do you play this or that? You guys were a great band, and decent human-beings.
Yours Truely, PJ Lundy

Hey Tor,

Here in Rockland county we have a High Tor and a Low Tor. They overlook the Hudson where you travelled. Judy and I have a "new" to us old Gulfstar 41 Aux. Ketch for a year. Appreciate your tips on sailing a ketch, along with your other tips on the cruising life. Thanks.

Hi Tor (and Roy),
I'm in El Paso where people still remember The Chains. I had the 45 rpms of "Ain't Gonna Eat Out My Heart Anymore" and "I Should Have Stayed." I sold them to a local memorabilia dealer who had been looking for them for over 30 years. He had just been diagnosed with malignant melanoma so I parted with my beloved records because he wanted them so badly. Lots of people tried to buy them from him but he wouldn't sell them. Sadly, he died in August 2009 and his store, The Time Capsule, closed. But I have your music on the 60s garage bands CD which is great! My class is having a big reunion soon and we'll be dancing to that CD. We all send our regards to you, Roy, and Brian (he wore those fabulous striped bellbottoms). You are such a part of our teen years, we'll never forget you!

Tor,
Just happened across your page, and scratched my head. Finally put it together - met you on Sparrow in the Med many moons ago, while I was cruising with my kids and my now ex-wife on Emma Louisa, a Moody 42. Very brief encounter, and I picked your brain lots about boats. Now have a Gulfstar 40 in Curacao, and heading west, but maybe up to Honduras and Belize, before Panama. Good luck with your next adventure, and hope to connect in some anchorage - may your anchor never drag - ha ha!

Hello Tor. I enjoyed reading the history of your musical odyssey. I met and interviewed The Chains in Las Cruces prior to you joining the group. My friend and I had plans of submitting an article to a teen magazine about our fabulous local band. But alas, DJ Tim put the nix on that. I still have the photos we took laying around here somewhere if you are interested in seeing them - let me know.

My Dear Child,

Here is a web site you should visit: www.higherconsciousnesssociety.org . If you are actually able to read long sentences, I also recommend that you apply yourself to the book, "How to Win Friends and Influence People" by Dale Carnegie.

Best of luck on your path to enlightenment. It's going to be a long one.

Cousin Tor,
Thanks for taking the time to share a meal with Mom and my sisters. What a great time! You made a very favorable impression on everyone.
I really enjoyed your book. It must be accurate because I agreed with almost everything you wrote. I have enough nautical experience to appreciate that you know a *lot* more about cruising in a sailboat than I do. Next time I am in your neck of the woods I would like to ask you a bunch more technical questions.
Reef sooner than later,
Cousin Tom

Tor, you won't remember me, but I was a good friend of Freds, from Roswell (also dated Bob Hauck, his room mate from Farmington and UNM station DJ) during the early Chains days. I personaly belived that your band was going to be huge, and was quite sorry that you guys didn't survive as a band.

Nice to know there is still some of the Chains endevours around.

Hugs!

Hello Tor,
Let's start by saying what a great site and what a hell of a life style.
I've been living in Europe since the early 70's, England till 2001 when I remarried great Belgium gal and have been living here since. I have two children from my first wife, a son and a daughter. Also two grandchildren from my daughter who all live in England so it's not to far for a visit now and then.
My wife and I came over to the U.S. this summer and met up with your brother and Laurie at my cousins summer house in Conn.( you remember Joann Thompson,out of you class) Had two great days reminiscing of times gone by. Some of them were a bit hard to pull out of the old memory bank, must be the age. Took a side trip to good old Larchmont and had a walk along the Manor Park. Your old house looks just the same, but with out the Corvette and boats on the drive. We also paied a visit to Frank Mambelli (unannounced) and he just about fainted.
Well if your ever sailing around the North Sea, Belgium has some nice harbors and I'm only an hours drive, let me know,OK.
You take care now on all your adventurous trips cause I'll be readind about them.
All the best
Bob Seymour

Tor I was cleaning out a drawer and found my grandfathers wallet. Inside was your card. I crewed aboard Buccaneer from St. John USVI to Ft. Lauder dale in the spring of of 81(?). Do you remember the trip? Seemed like endless downwind with a double head sails rigged. Felt like we swung across 30 degrees with each following sea. Just having the two of us aboard, after your par amour left in P.R., made for less sleep then I would have liked. If I remember right the food situation was a bit sparse too. I have good memories of P.R. Haiti and Puerto Plata D.R.. I visited my Grandmother in West Palm afterwords and thus your card being in my Grandpas old wallet. Much water under the bridge since then. I live on Martha's Vineyard and build houses for rich folks mostly. It looks like you are well. Cheers. Dan.

Hi again, Tor, it's been a few years since we exchanged e-mails. Things are fine here, thank Goodness. My MHS wrestling buddy, Joel Sanoff, recently sent me your super-CD of Garageband music. I can't believe how good Brian Kelly was on organ. I always knew it, even back then, but it's kinda scary for me, as a professional musician to listen to it today! He's got that exciting raw feel. Please say hi to Sarah for me. Her friends Dawn and Johnny Sarlo (a fine singer, btw) are grandparents now, and they're moving north. Happy and safe cruising. Looking forward to you rescuing the cast of the TV series "LOST" so my girlfriend can stop watching it on Wednesday nights... jk. Thanks. Tommy

Hello there Tor,
I came to your site looking for information on mizzen staysails. I liked the info given and would like to pick your brain a little more concerning technics for ketches/yawls. I perused some of your photo's and was impressed too. Way too much fun. The admiral and I are aspiring cruisers. We have the boat and are in the process of fitting her out. I'm going to contact by regular E mail with some specifics. Wonderful site!!!.... TNX

WASSUP???? Long time no see.Came across your site by accident.Glad to see all is well and you're living an exiting life. Good for you!
Me? Believe it or not I'm still in Larchmont and STILL playing bass.I've been in a few successful bands and am currently in a new one. (PURSUIT) My chops are pretty freakin good if I do say so myself! Got a new fender P -- sounds awesome. That makes 5 to pick from including a 60's Hagstrom. Remember them?The list includes a Peavey t-40, weighs about 100 lbs. but has a good mellow sound, the unplayable hagstrom (just a decoration) the Fender-P , a Fender -J (not currently in my possession) I think it's being used as a voodoo doll by my most recent ex, a demented violinist who broke my heart, and an Ernie Ball Stingray,which is actually THE MOST AWESOME but had to be mothballed cause it was a gift from her. I can't even look at it yet.
The rest of my life ? I'd have to write a website like you.It's been a ride though. Married and divorced twice (it ain't me it's them!!) Been doing the contracting thing for way too long, over 20 yrs, looking to make a change but I haven't got a clue. Oct 21 is a MHS reunion. 40 yrs !!!!I understand Roy is going to be there, I'm looking foward to seeing him. Should be a blast
So Tor,do you remember playing the "VAT" in Ft. Lee NJ and going directly to Newark to headline a rock mass? I don,t! I think that was the beginng of the end for the "RIOT"
Great site Tor! Thanks for the ink and thanks for not telling ALL. We'd have to go underground.

Have you written about sailing in Norway? That is one of the places I want to sail. I've been to there three times before, but I need to sail there. Keep writing, you are good. mb

I was in your house in Mamaroneck, when I was oh.....about 12 yrs old or so.....My father owned the Washngton Arms restaurant, on Mamaroneck harbor. Your site is much fun......wanderlust is grabbing me!! I miss my 35'Morgan sloop "Labadie". Reading your site takes me back to my sailing days......I was a sailboat broker on southeast 17th st in Ft Lauderdale from 1983 to '85! Prior to that I worked in the CSY yacht factory on Tampa bay '77-'78, then left on my completely refitted 35'sloop for 5 years to Grenada and back!! Hope to see you someday soon! Randy Hougton.....memories of the old town.........my gosh!!!
best to you Tor........Jeff in Tampa

Hi Tor,
I don't know if you remember me or not but we met in Miami many years ago when you were just starting out. I have a Tayana 37 (Bold Venture and we discussed the merits of a T-37 vs a Crealock 37. Anyway, we will be heading to the Rio Dulce in May and I came across your article "A Vein In God's Body" while researching the area on the internet. Great article! Makes me anxious to get underway!

Dear Tor,
Who'd a thunk it? Remember when we thought cold beer was a big deal? Thinking of you these days as i'm working on my boat book now. Buffetts agent says she wants it. How wierd is that? You are still my Bro.though many miles have gone by. I was in Bimini in 2001 and bought a CD of a local band that had 'Layin low in Bimini' on it. I still like your version much better. Sometimes i play that old tape you gave me and sing along. Still great songs! Did you know Kevin Hurley has a cd out? Give me a shout if you get a chance.
love, Chris
