Photo Memories from Mike Bernardo



This is a photo of us appearing on the Lohman & Barkey TV Show at the NBC Burbank Studios. Also appearing on the show was Doodles Weaver and Mickey Rooney. Unfortunately, footage of our appearance was taped over and this is the only photographic record we have.



This is a photo of our Big White House in Topanga Canyon, CA, looking up the driveway.



4 Guys and a Ball: l-r: Mike B., George, Marc and Eddie under the basketball hoop in our driveway.



Mike B. and Marc in our living room in the Big White House in Topanga Canyon, CA. Notice the day-glo posters?



Mike B. and Marc jamming (or is that hamming?) in the living room of our Big white House in Topanga Canyon.



Leah in a bikini, sunning herself on the driveway of the Big White House in Topanga Canyon.



At an all night recording session in New York City: George on trumpet and Joy on flute (behind the harpsichord). Can anyone remember what song we were recording that night?



Mike B, The Man



Vintage Bentley motorcar owned by Dunyea West, one of the managers for the Iron Butterfly, in front of his house in Topanga Canyon, CA. Dunyea worked with us when we returned to California from Las Vegas.



Paul Leka, previously mentioned in A Dark Night in Salt Lake. Na Na, Hey, Hey......Goodbye Paul!



A picture of the front of the Flamingo Hotel (1970) in Las Vegas, as seen from Ceasar's Palace, across the street. We played in the Skyroom on the second floor. Can you see the lights on the ceiling?



Mike B, his girlfriend, Janelle and two friends relaxing in Mike's house in Bethpage, NY. How about those 70's sideburns?



Janelle, Mike B. and his sister, Janet preparing to serve up some of Mike's legendary culinary fare in his house in Bethpage, NY.
