692.0. "Ball and Pivot Info ?" by ERIC::BELL (There must be some kinda way outa here!) Fri Jun 24 1988 08:31

    Hi, this may not be the right note but I can't get to MUSIC at the
    moment. Can any of you New Englanders tell me anything about a Boston
    band called BALL AND PIVOT and in particular about a guy called
    Bee Wilkinson (sp?). The reason I ask is that I have his sister
    Beverley staying with me in England for a few days on a tour with
    a choir and I thought it would be fun if anyone over there new about
    the outfit. Bee used to be in The Atlantics.

692.3Pretty good bandSTAR::KMCDONOUGHFri Jun 24 1988 11:0311
    Ball and Pivot had a local hit in a tune called something like
    "2 o'clock jump".  As I remember, the Atlantics had an EP out and
    had a local hit with a tune called something like "Lonely Hearts".
    The Atlantics were around for a long time and IMO were a good band
    to see live.  I think they were described as a "Power Pop" band.

    PS. This really isn't the place for this discussion, but I can't
    get into MUSIC either.
