I had the great fortune to experience live The Beatles during their last US tour in '66. I was hooked on music in general from my earliest youth though.
We had two garage bands during my HS days, of which I played bass and keyboard in the invasion cover group while the other band focused more on US beach music, Beach Boys, Ventures, etc. Neither group were high quality (as most of us self taught were) but we all enjoyed ourselves immensely! On the other hand, our front man, Dave Gordon, did turn professional and was highly regarded in the folk genre until his death from cancer in his early 30's.
So, yeah, I guess those were our "cliques", even-though we did think of it much that way back then. No clique now though, just this group. Oops!
