don't know ... could have been?
Born in West Palm Beach on December 12, 1943, and raised in Bradenton, Florida,[7][8] Betts grew up in a musical family listening to traditional bluegrass, country music and Western swing. He started playing ukulele at five and, as his hands got bigger, moved on to mandolin, banjo, and guitar. At sixteen and feeling the need for something "a little faster", he played in a series of rock bands on the Florida circuit, up the East Coast and into the Midwest before forming Second Coming with Berry Oakley in 1967. According to Rick Derringer, the "group called the Jokers" referenced in "Rock and Roll, Hoochie Koo" was one of Betts' early groups.[9]

"So here's to all the soldiers Who have ever died in vain The insane locked up in themselves And the homeless down on Main To those who stand on empty shores And spit against the wind And those who wait forever For ships that don't come in He said it's only life's illusions That bring us to this bar To pick up these old crutches And compare each other's scars 'Cause the things we're calling heartaches Hell, they're hardly worth our time We bitch about a dollar When there's those without a dime As he ordered one last round He said, I guess we can't complain 'Cause God made life a gamble And we're still in the game"
