The Oxfords

The Oxfords came out of Louisville, Kentucky in 1964, led by drummer Jim Guest while still in highschool. When the rest of the group broke away to form The Rugbys in 1965, Guest brought in members of rival band The Spectres: Jay Petach on guitar and keyboards, Bill Tullis and Danny Marshall on guitars and Bill Turner on bass, and continued as The Oxfords. In 1966, Marshall and Turner were replaced by Ronnie Brooks, and Ray Barrickman on guitar and bass respectively.
