Back in the fall of 1964, a handful of students at the University of New Hampshire formed a rock band called The Spectras. Over the next six years, their reputation grew and they almost hit the charts nationally. They all have day jobs now, but they maintain a pretty busy schedule playing the music they love. Two of the original Spectra, Dick Ray and Chris Quackenbush, join John on The Front Porch to talk about the band and their journey in the music business.
