| Comments: | Hi guys, I just found the site for myself. tena put an entry in for me awhile back. Robin & I have been livingin Truro since 97 and other places before that.Does everyone know Marilyn Hanna passed away a few years ago? When Neil died we didn't know he was ill so it was quite a shock.He was a great guy and will always have a special place in my heart.We just lost our youngest son Darcy oct 14th/06 in Afghanistan. It was total devastation.I've tried to keep in touch with as many of the old gang as possible; Dave LeDrew, Linda Donovan,Harry Oliver, Tena Oliver,Marilyn Hanna, Neil & Eddy whenever I could but it's been a few years.I would love to hear from you all again.This is a wonderful site,for a talented group and the greatest friends.I still have all my pics! Love you guys from an old gogo dancer of 67!! |

He did a gig on the Bandstand on ATV every Saturday and I used to dance in one of the cages on this show. My God we had so much fun back then. Does anyone know where Bumper has disappeared too? |

Like I said before the band made a lasting impression on me. There was also another band that I liked in the 60s and that was the Phantoms from Cheticamp. I am enjoying the Bitts' tapes tremendously. I can only listen to one side at a time (just doing some savouring). Pool is open, one condition "you don't p in my pool, I won't swim in your toilet"!!!!! Drop in any time,all of you guys.

| Comments: | Ed, I still have people who want to know about the reunion, lol. The article in the Cape Breton Post has little ole me asking for the band to play for a November concert. As far as I know there is no Nov. concert and I don't recall ever asking for the band to reunite, not that I wouldn't be delighted but I feel that the article pictures "moi" as a "groupie"? Thought that I would post on this site to set the record straight, I DID NOT ASK FOR THE BAND TO REUNITE...end of discussion. It would take much planning and organizing to get a band that hasn't played together for over three decades to perform again. I know it could be done but it would just take time. Thanks Ed for the tapes of the band. Hope that a souvenir cd is in the works.....yes, I admit I am supporting the idea of a cd. |

Not only that I went on to play with Neil & brother Ralph after the Bitts have broken up. This is when I really started playing especially with such good musicians and playing music ahead of our time. (Big moth, East coast Promotion band were two of the bands) Good times!

I remember that she had her initials on her car but I can't remember the model but I think it was a 2 door sports car , a wine color maybe a cavalier or gm model. This site is a great reminder of those years and I hope it is a great success for you.Thanks for the memories |

| Comments: | Dear Eddie: So pleased you decided to put together a webpage, as advertised in the C.B. Post. So many years ago, when we were teens, I vividly remember you drumming away in the garage of your parent's home, and "us girls" being so infatuated with you. Your parents were especially kind to me, and I can still remember the lunch your mom prepared way back then, and her generosity. You were blessed with such a devoted mom and dad. Kind regards, Brenda Wells Franklin |

My mother is Cheryl Chambers..Neil was my step father..and one of the most wonderfull and inspiritational people to have ever entered my life. seeing this site, nearly brought me to tears. ive spent years hearing about the days in the band..listening to him play piano up untill his last days. watching him jam with his friends and band members..his voice and talents will always echo in my thoughts. seeing this site and all these memories is so wonderfull..even hearing the band was like listening to him speak again.

| Comments: | HI GUYS; I'M NOW 48 YRS. OLD AND STILL LIVING IN SYDNEY. I PLAYED IN A BAND CALLED THE MIDNITE CONFESSIONS IN 70 TO 72. WE PLAYED AT MANY OF THE LOCAL GIGS AROUND INDUSTRIAL CAPE BRETON. WE PLAYED AT THE VENETIAN GARDENS FOR ABOUT A YEAR IN 1970 OR 71. WE PLAYED THERE ON SATURDAY NITES AND A BAND CALLED THE LANCERS PLAYED THERE ON FRIDAYS. I HAD THE PLEASURE OF MEETING NEIL CHAMBERS WAY BACK THEN AFTER HE'D FINISHED PLAYING WITH ONE OF THE GROUPS HE'D BEEN WITH, HE ACTUALLY PLAYED A FEW TUNES WITH US ONE NIGHT AS DID BUMPER BRADBURY ONE NIGHT. THE BITTS HAD A GREAT SOUND. I ONLY HEARD THEM A FEW TIMES AND MET SOME OF THE GUYS THROUGH DIFFERENT AQUAITENCES OF MINE BUT I REMEMBER THAT THEY WERE WELL RESPECTED AND THE LOCAL KIDS LOVED THEM. I THINK IT'S GREAT THAT YOU GUYS ARE DOING THIS WEB PAGE THING. I WISH THE CONFESSIONS HAD DONE THE SAME. I REMEMBER WELL THE CROWDS AT THE VENETIANS AND LISTENING TO A LOT OF THE PATRONS TALKING ABOUT GOUPS LIKE THE DARNELLS, BURGER AND THE |

Although the Friday night dances with the Lancers were good we always liked you guys better. We would like to thank you all for so many wonderful memories of the great times we had during our teenage years. We have been together for 36 years (went steady for 4 years and married for 32 years) and if we could go back to those Saturday night dances we'd do it in a heartbeat. Thanks again for filling our early romantic years full of wonderful memories. Donnie & Marie McDonald |

| Comments: | April When my husband and I got married in October of 1974 and while searching for a band to play at the wedding, I had been out of touch with the local music scene. The Tradewinds were mentioned as a band I might want to check out. I was not interested because although there are great musicians on the island not all bands weree "great". I am so darn fussy when it comes to live bands. I asked who was in the band. As soon as Rollie's name was mentioned..that is all I had to hear. Being a former "Bitt", I knew enough about Rollie as a musician to know that if Rollie played with the Tradewinds they had to be great...and they were and for years after, whenever anyone mentioned our wedding, someone would always bring up how good the band was. My heart broke when I heard the band had broken up, if I would have had a choice between seeing the Bitts in concert or Elvis, it would have been the Bitts.....that is just the way it was....they were very professional and had much respect in Cape B |

I was blown away by the talent and knew you guys would be back. It was a sad time when the band split and it was about then that I quit going to dances, it was difficult to settle for second best. just couldn't warm up to other bands. Did the band open up for the Guess Who at the Syney Forun? This site is great...thanks for the memories. |
