The Bishops

g, key, sax, dr, b,
Musician of Rock

From: Columbus, Ohio The Bishops were formed by Bob Hill (guitar/keyboard/sax/harmonica) while he was a student at Ohio State. Mickey Noyes (drums) and John Huffman (bass/guitar) were also OSU students. Jack Groff was the guitarist for a while, before Richie Stilson (who had played with Bob in the Shades) became the guitarist. With this lineup the group recorded a couple of Bob's songs at Magnetic, and released the 45 in June of '65. The record is a great two-sided bluesy pounder, a unique and advanced sound for the times. Richie's Magnatone amp-vibratoed solos demonstrating why he was considered by many to be the best guitarist in town. Bob Hill sings lead and blows the harmonica.
