Paul Naumann Bio

   I literally went from playing The Chatterbox Bar in Seaside Heights, NJ to joining The Tradewinds as lead singer on a Thursday, going back into New York on Sunday for a wardrobe and leaving on Tuesday for a five week tour with The Rolling Stones, The McCoys and The Standells.  That year there was an airline strike, so we were stuck in L.A. where the tour ended for us.  The Stones went on to Hawaii.  Stuck in L.A. boo hoo right!  We were walking down Sunset to The Whiskey to hear this hot local group when a limo pulled up!  It was Charlie Watts and Bill Wyman asking us if we were going to The Whiskey.  We said yes and they said get in.  The name of the group playing was The Doors!  The airline strike went on for two weeks during which time I learned a Lid was something other than a hat.

 The Tradewinds changed their name to Fairchilds and signed with A&M Records  single "Thinkin 'Bout Me." 

 Wrote two songs with Ken Laguna for the Tuneful Trolley "Sunny Days" and "I Got You Around."Concert at Carnegie Hall with Kazenetz-Katz singing Orchestral Circus.
