UPBEAT: Grasshoppers/Benny Orzechowski (Fan Club) - aka "Benny 11-Letters"

Submitted by Norm Roulet on Thu, 01/28/2010 - 06:12.

I saw the following Fan Club posting for BENNY ORZECHOWSKI/BEN ORR, of Parma, of the Cars - on Craig's List (which I thought was interesting) - and I figured folks on realNEO may be interested and able to help out... and enjoy the early 1960s Cleveland roots rock classic posted below (nice guitar).

This fan club announcement will definitely last lots longer here on REALNEO than on Craig's. The only contact info is the Craig's List reply email, and I don't know how long that will stay active, so best reach out right away if you are a fan of "Benny 11-Letters".

Seeking photographs of BennyOrzechowski, Cleveland's own BENNY ELEVENLETTERS who became Benjamin Orr of Bostons NEW WAVE group The Cars.

I am seeking photographs of Benny from his days in Parma as well as candid photographs of him onstage and off. I am trying to also locate video and or photographs from when Benny was playing with the UPBEAT Tv show in the house band THE GRASSHOPPERS with Paul Anka. Cars photographs are welcome as well.

Please let me know if you are willing to share from your collection. We are a non profit group honoring his life and memory.

Contact Info for Ben "11-letters" Orzechowski Fan Club

Submitted by Norm Roulet on Fri, 01/29/2010 - 00:31.

As I figured, the Ben "11-letters" Orzechowski Fan Club posting I saw on Craig's list was short lived... as explained below.

I contacted this Craig's List poster's contact email yesterday to see if there was a more permanent way to get in touch, and to notify them I posted this to REALNEO. Here is the response, with contact and other information of interest... and, btw, note that people appreciate exposure on REALNEO, and being told when they are highlighted in our community...!

Thank you ever so kindly for helping me out.....Craigslist sent me a note that they plagged and removed my post....Im not sure why.
