Gary and the Hornets were from Franklin, Ohio; a town halfway between Cincinnati & Dayton, and received a lot of radio airplay in those markets in 1966 and 1967. In addition to "Hi Hi Hazel", they recorded the first version of "There's A Kind of Hush" that I ever heard--months before Herman's Hermits' version. The group consisted of the Calvert brothers, Gary (age 11 or 12 on guitar and lead vocals, Greg (the oldest at 14 or 15) on bass, and Steve(age 7 or 8) on drums. There is a Yahoo Fan Group formed with more info on the group in the Files section and in the comments. Search Yahoo Groups for the link.
