ruising, dragging, chasing girls, and drinking beer have been Faros’ traditions from the beginning in 1960. These days a lot has changed except for their passion for cars, car shows, cruising, the bonds of friendship, and for some, drinking beer. Dying Breed Brewing out of Oakdale has created a craft beer just for the Faros that they released just in time for the Graffiti celebrations. The Faros have not had any new members since 1973 but all that changed in October 2020 when they allowed seven new members to join, including Dan Wood and Aaron Schafer. Wood is brew master and co-owner at Dying Breed Brewing. “It is just something fun that we wanted to do to basically pay homage to the organization,” said Wood. “We wanted something on the lighter side that appeals to a wider audience. Craft beer has a pretty big range. Not everybody likes

the heavier beers like the darker beers. So this is a light beer that is easy drinking - more of a summer time beer. So, that is what we were headed for.” The label has the Modesto arch with Water, Wealth, Contentment, Health and a black 55 Chevy with a Faros license plate. The custom ale is light, crisp and refreshing with a smooth finish and quite perfect for a hot summer night or day. “I have a 55 Chevy and that is a 55 Chevy on
the label,” Wood remarked with a smile. “They give me a hard time but I tell them you brew the beer and then you get your car on the label. We will find some way to figure out whose car will go on the label next time.” They plan to release the beer each year during the graffiti festivities with a different car on the label. All the members were invited to the brewery to participate in the canning process. They witnessed how the beer goes from the tanks
into the can and then the label is put on, it is packaged and put on a pallet that goes into the cold storage. “I don’t know any other car club that can say we have our own beer,” said Faros member Bruce Schafer. “It was a blast and the beer is great.” With approval from the “Beerman” aka Bruce, the Dying Breed creation is sure to be a hit and even for those that may not be beer drinkers like Bruce’s wife Cyndi. “I am not a beer drinker but I like that,” added Cyndi. The Faros Beer was released at the first car show at Spring Creek at the end of July and is currently available at the tap room. The Faros have a clubhouse in Oakdale where they meet on a regular basis and currently have 30 active members. The Faros started out as a fraternity and then evolved into a car club around 1960. The original founders cruised downtown on 10th and 11th Streets and then made their way to McHenry Avenue. They had a taste of fame when the movie American Graffiti was released in 1973 that was
directed by George Lucas. “We were just teenagers from high school just like the movie,” stated Daryl Wheitl a Faros member. “I have been a Faro since 1961. We enjoyed cars and girls. They kind of went together. We just hung out, had parties, drank beer and chased women. Most of us are married now so we don’t chase women anymore but we still drink beer.” The Faros will be at several Graffiti events like Graffiti at the Creek, Del Rio Car Show, MASRA McHenry Village, Walk of Fame, and Cars and Coffee. ●

By MARTIN REED
odesto and rock music go way back, of course – maybe even all the way back. By some accounts, the very roots of rock once thrived here in the persons of the Maddox Brothers & Rose, “America’s Most Colorful Hillbilly Band.” The Maddoxes were a family of freight-jumpin’, fruit-trampin’, stringpickin’ Alabamans who rode the rails to California’s Central Valley in 1933. After settling in Modesto, they formed a musical act with 11-year-old sister Rose in the vocal spotlight. With a level of energy and flamboyance seldom seen in their day, the group became fast favorites on stage, radio, and record. By the approach of the 1950s, they were banging out a racket scarcely distinguishable from the one dubbed “rockabilly” some five years later. “They ought to name a street out there after ‘em,” says the similarly legendary Glen Glenn, who played and sang with the last vestiges of the Maddox combo for most of 1957. “They were from Modesto…and without the Maddox Brothers, there wouldn’t be no rockabilly.” Although a draft notice put the brakes on Glenn’s own bid for stardom in 1958, his scant recorded output found an enthusiastic audience during the rockabilly resurgence of the late 1970s and ‘80s. These days, he often finds himself courted by rock royalty but reserves his
highest praise for that little- known hillbilly band, the Maddox Brothers & Rose. “They were the best group I’ve ever seen in my life…I idolized ‘em. I still do, and I’m 70-some years old! They were showmen…Have you heard their music? Their old 4-Star stuff? Man, when they got on stage, they were doing rock & roll before they even knew there was a rock & roll. They were doing it in the ‘40s.”
They were from Modesto, and without the Maddox brothers & Rose, there wouldn’t be no rockabilly. — Glen Glenn Consider, for example, the opening track of “The Maddox Brothers & Rose Vol. 1” (Arhoolie CD 391), which kicks off with a shout-out to the Central Valley: “There’s a real hot spot on the Waterloo Road,” sings Rose…Waterloo Road in Stockton. The rollicking “George’s Playhouse Boogie” is about a rowdy nightclub at that locale, where the band played regularly. Early stirrings of rock can be heard here, as on at least five other songs in this collection of highlights from the group’s 1946 to ‘51 tenure with 4-Star Records. “I’ll tell you, there’s a book,” says Glen Glenn. “I think you can get it on the internet. It tells a lot about the Maddoxes – a hardcover book about Rose Maddox.”

Ramblin’ Rose, by Jonny Whiteside (Country Music Foundation Press/Vanderbilt Press, 1997), is indeed a fine introduction. Thumbing through its pages, an area resident will recognize a procession of towns and landmarks. Here is Modesto’s South 9th Street, where 18-yearold Fred Maddox convinces a business owner to sponsor the group on radio while wangling a standup bass fiddle for himself. Never mind that he can’t play; he’ll just slap the strings, creating an exciting percussive effect. Fabulous once more is the Strand Theater, remembered, perhaps, as a derelict building with the moxie to proclaim “Modern and Fireproof ” every day of its condemned life. Here again is the Assembly of God in Riverbank, the scene of a tug-of-war between the Holy Rollers and Rose Maddox for the soul of Jimmy Winkle, Rose’s lead guitarist and steady flame (the Holy Rollers won). Author Whiteside’s description of Modesto continues a tired tradition of dismissals and slights (“scorched and moribund,” he offers), but he also reveals a bygone character of this region, that of a cultural crossroads where the Maddoxes could rub shoulders with Roy Rogers, Woody Guthrie, Bob Wills, and a host of Steinbeckian sorts. While other hillbilly bands played to type, dressing like hayseeds and working predictable cornball comedy into their act, the Maddoxes, being the genuine article, were ill-equipped to draw this caricature. They channeled their earnings into the flashiest western wear they could find and gave their own boisterous humor free rein onstage. Paradoxically, they found immediate favor with both radio and live audiences, and when, in 1939, they entered a hillbilly band contest at the State Fair, they took top honors. Their prize was a one-year series of shows on KFBK radio in Sacramento, syndicated over several northwestern states. With the advent of World War II, the band’s future fell into doubt, as several of the brothers were spirited off to distant lands. By 1946, however, the entire family was back in Modesto, and the group (singer Rose,
mandolinist Henry, fiddler Don, bassist Fred, guitarist Cal, and all-arounder Cliff) was immediately reformed along radical new lines. In the space of this year, they hired two outside musicians (steel guitarist Bud Duncan and lead guitarist Jimmy Winkle), went electric, embraced the boogie, and began making records. Fred and Cal, pitching the boogie to older brother Cliff, issued a cry which, in coming decades, would be taken up by the nation and then the world: “We have got to have that beat!” Without so much as a drummer, they caught the beat and rode it. As Fred would tell Jonny Whiteside, “People couldn’t stand still – they had to dance.” Through the end of the 1940s, the band continued to call Modesto home while touring the country and releasing such electrifying fare as “Water Baby Blues,” “Hangover Blues,” and “Step It Up and Go.” By this time, according to folklorist Charlie Seeman (interviewed on National Public Radio in 2003), they were “the leading edge of rockabilly, with that slapped bass sound that Fred Maddox had developed.” Soon enough, a pre-iconic Elvis Presley was rocking the country & western world, and the Maddoxes (now under contract to Columbia and based in Hollywood) were right beside him. All were co-residents on KWKH radio’s “Louisiana Hayride,” even
sharing the occasional concert bill. One can almost see the wheels turning in Elvis’ head as he eyes the group’s shiny Cadillacs and tries on Fred’s pink jacket. (Lula “Mama” Maddox – an ever-present disciplinarian – made him take it off!) But rock & roll, by 1956, had no use for elder statesmen or elder anything, and the Maddox Brothers & Rose were summarily eclipsed by the very music they had helped to pioneer. Fred, Don, and Henry soldiered on for another year, with Henry’s wife Loretta (aka Retta) assuming lead vocal duties. It was during this period that Glen Glenn was pressed into service. “Fred’s wife, Kitty Maddox, called me on the phone,” recalls Glenn, “because I was still doing country music around Southern California. I worked with them all through ‘57, with the Maddox Brothers & Retta. Then I think it was about the last part of ‘57 that Henry and Retta, they wanted to quit the group, and then Don Maddox…he saved all his money, so he moved up and got a big ranch in Oregon. So all that was left was Fred and me. So there was no more Maddox Brothers; that was the end of it.” In the wake of the neo-rockabilly craze in the late 1970’s, the classic recordings of the Maddox Brothers & Rose would find new life on anthologies and eventually comprehensive reissues
on the Arhoolie and Bear Family labels. In 1994, Rose Maddox received a Grammy nomination for her bluegrass album, “$35 and a Dream.” Her health was failing by this time, and she died in 1998, leaving Don as the sole surviving musical Maddox. Always revered by country and rock insiders, Rose and her brothers found increasing favor with the public in absentia and were even the subjects of a 2002 stage production, “Mad. Bros. & Rose: A Rockabilly Revue.” So, was a musical revolution really taking shape in this “small, flat, dusty, sleepy city” in and around the 1940s? How reliable are claims like those of Glenn Mueller, a fellow traveler of the Maddoxes, who wrote for the Rockabilly Hall of Fame that “rockabilly may have started with a Modesto, California-based family”? Track down one of the Arhoolie collections and judge for yourself. Hear the frantic tempos, the breathless vocals, and the stinging, snarling guitar sounds (often an electric mandolin!) that would become hallmarks of later times. You might just be moved to speculate…Modesto, a possible launch pad for rockabilly and, by extension, a big chunk of rock & roll. Sleepy like a slow fuse. ●

pompadour and a T-shirt with rolled sleeves. Pin curls and a fit-n-flare dress. The Greasers are ready for a night out. But for this social club, being a Greaser is about more than the clothes and hair. It’s about keeping a culture alive. “The whole purpose of our group is to keep the past alive the 1950s retro vibe, the classics,” said Jessi Pham, the president of the Greasers Social Club World Wide CentCal. “We just try and keep the 1950s, rockabilly aspect current and alive.” The Greasers Social Club was founded in 2011 by Tony Reina as a promotional business to bring more rockabilly bands to Las Vegas. The logo and shirts printed up for the business proved to be popular and demand for them started to grow. The social club aspect came about when he heard a few guys in Texas had used the logo to make some shirts. Rather than start some legal proceeding, Reina saw an opportunity to start a social club and since then clubs have been
by club member and rockabilly musician Tony Trevino. “We like to keep a lot of our events family-friendly so everyone can come out and have fun,” Pham said. “Plus we want to plant that seed with the younger ones to keep it going.” Some may be drawn to the social club for the music, others for the classic cars, and others for the style and fashion. For Pham, the retro style reminded her of her grandmother, who was in the beauty business and was the “Beehive queen,” Pham said. Pham already had an interest in the pin-up style, with the defined hairstyles and femme fatale fashion, when she was introduced to the Central Valley Greasers Social Club. “I love the elegance of the pin-up girl like Marilyn Monroe or Bettie Page, because it’s timeless and so beautiful,” Pham said. The pandemic put a halt to most of the club’s activities, but they are ramping back up and hoping to grow their membership. The club is planning to host an open house style event during Graffiti weekend outside Trevino’s Barber Shop and Shave Parlor at 909 10th Street in Modesto.

By SABRA STAFFORD
efore the teenagers were making the loop on 10th and 11th streets in Modesto and decades before cruisers would pack McHenry Avenue, there were a handful of fellows from the Westside of the county that liked to see just how fast they could drive. There were drag races out on the rural roads on Newman and Gustine and out of that need for speed, the Westside Auto Club was born. Started in 1948 by six men, the Westside Auto Club is one of the older car clubs in the region. It now has a membership of 35 classic car enthusiasts who are more likely to host charitable car shows than country drag races. Don Gomes has been the president of the club for 24 years. Most of the members come from Newman, Gustine, Patterson, Crows Landing and Turlock, but membership is open to
anyone in the Central Valley. When the opportunity arises, the club likes to gather for meet ups or mini cruises in Newman and Gustine. The club’s most popular event is their Linguica Run, which is usually held the Sunday after the Fourth of July at Henry Miller Park in Gustine. The event features a large car show, prizes, games and activities and a linguica lunch. The event was put on

S
ometimes a car is just a method of getting from point A to point B. Sometimes a car is more than that. Sometimes it becomes like a thread weaving in and out, linking different times of our lives. That is the type of car John and Jeani Ferrari of Turlock have in their 1965 Pontiac GTO. John was a self-described “Corvette man” but a clandestine race with some of the fellows hanging out at Manchos changed his view. “There was a guy with a Pontiac GTO and it sucked the wheels right off my car,” John said. He had seen enough to change his vehicle preference and in May of 1965 he took possession of a brand new Pontiac GTO that he had purchased from Bonander’s for a sticker price of somewhere around $3,000. This was the car John would drive to pick up Jeani during their courtship and it made an impression on her, but more for the appearance than the power. “I thought it had beautiful body lines,” Jeani said. “The body lines were designed by John DeLorean.” When the couple said “I do” it was the Pontiac that they rode off into the sunset for their honeymoon. When their first born son arrived, it was the Pontiac that they brought him home in. As the family grew the Pontiac
became the workhorse of their lives. “At that time it was my car to use and it was a fun car to drive,” Jeani said. It was however missing one necessity that Jeani desperately wanted. “It didn’t have air conditioning,” Jeani said. “John ordered it without any extra weight because he wanted it to go fast.” The couple bought a used station wagon, which did have air conditioning, and the occasions for when the Pontiac needed to be taken out were less and less. John stored the car in a barn to protect it from the elements and there it stayed until the 1990s, when their son Damon put the idea in their heads about refurbishing it. His son’s enthusiasm inspired him and John had the Pontiac brought back to tip-top condition with the original seats, headliner and dash components. The Pontiac looked so good that on a whim they drove it out to Wichita, Kansas and entered it into the GTO International car show, where it claimed Best of Show. “That’s a big deal as there were 750 GTOs competing,” Jeani said. The Pontiac still comes out for car shows and the occasional drive around town. Even though it’s not taken out daily, it still remains a beloved part of the couple’s history. ●
