THE FNRA PAGE
Updated June, 2007 - But stuck in the 70s!


1978 and the boys in the band.

There are many who, when asked "who was the FNRA?",
will exalt the achievements of this glorious minor musical group!

Okay.... Perhaps there aren't "many" who would exalt their achievements.
but their mom's might say something about the noise.

I'll Start Again!

There are a few who, when asked "who was the FNRA?",
will exalt the achievement of this glorious minor musical group!

Okay.... Perhaps "achievement" is a bit misleading.
Does "quasi" sound too intellectual to use with musicians?

I'll Start Again!

There are perhaps a few who, when asked "who was the FNRA?",
will exalt the NEAR achievement of this glorious minor musical group!

Okay...Perhaps "glorious" is a bit of exagerration.
But "minor"? Yeah. That's true.

.....Mostly.

....I think I'll just use the publicity packet......


Johnny, Pete, and Tim.
THE FNRA
These 3 musicians from Fayetteville, N.C.,
together and separately
wrote over 1,000 poems and songs and professionally recorded
around forty of these original works.

Though their musical profession was brief,
Ask anyone who is a fan and all three of them will tell you,
"these guys were great!"
They were also known as The Three Caballeros
which is an exciting and exclusive story you will find only HERE!


They grow older and rustier as the days go by, here you will live again
those wacky 70's with all the ups and downs a band could endure.
This was at the end of the era of playing "real" guitar, bass, and drums.
It was the dawn of the age of "digital sampling" which is French for
"I can't play anything but I want to be famous so I'll play
somebody else's recordings and pretend I have all the talent"

What remains today are just old pictures, old men, old memories
and tapes that their relatives are really tired of hearing.


"YOU can be part of their unfolding history

Here's what other famous artists say:

"The FNRA is one of the few bands
never to have been videotaped with Pamela Lee."
-VH1*

"If we hadn't been as big as we were, they might have been even smaller."
-Sir, Paul McC.**

"Never saw anybody better!"
-Stevie wonder***

"You're still on about that? Tim, Johnny, Pete, Paul, George and Ringo. It's all history man.
There is no FNRA; there is no Beatles, Me and Elvis are dead. Deal with it!"
-George Harrison****.

"Uh, who were we talking about again?
-Keith Richards****

"Turn down that COTTON-PICKIN-RACKET!!!!"
- -Pete's Dad

* VH1 minus DH1 is equal to VH1-DH1 or the sum of VH1+DH1-2(DH1)
** Yes Sir, Paul McConelwonkey, guitar player and renowned cockroach trainer.
*** Stevie wonders why his last name is Miniwillie just before the men in white coats up his dosage.
**** George Harris,son of Bob Harris, spelunker and proctologist. Well , what's the difference?
***+** Keith Richardson, Owner of Keith's Garage and Pet Store.
