Papa Bears Medicine Show

circa 1966 - circa 1970
Picture taken at Oak Bay High School for an OBYC (Oak Bay Youth Council) dance February 15, 1969.
Papa Bear's, as they were commonly called, were a good time band that borrowed from previous eras, coming off like a cross between Dan Hicks & His Hot Licks and the New Vaudeville Band. Photo credit Ron Wright.
