Growing up in Florida in the sixties GLENN COLEMANwanted nothing more than to play music. He and a few friends, like many others, formed their first band,THE RUMORS,and also like many other new bands of the era they were going to be the next Beatles.

The end of the sixties sawGLENNhelp formORANGE WEDGE,a group performing in the then popular Psychedelic genre. Just as the band was making some headwayGLENN'Smusical aspirations were interrupted when he was drafted for a 2 year tour in the U.S. Army.
