In the mid 60s John Armstrong was playing guitar, writing songs and was the founding member of the Albuquerque rock band The Sidewinders. John's Dad was a music teacher and John met one of his students, Mike Norris, and that was the foundation of the group. Singer Randy Duran joined the group and Jack Paden jumped on board. Tom Popejoy was a college student that played some guitar and John Armstrong asked him to try and switch to bass. It worked and the band practiced and played local parties. They all joined in on writing songs hoping to record their creations. John Wagner was striving to become successful in the recording world and heard the group and started to produce them as the Sidewinders. A 45rpm release on Look Records out of Nashville was their first record. It was a cover of "Get Out Of My Life Woman." Title: 60s 70s

The group was rapidly moving towards original songs based on the skills of John and Mike Norris. It was decided to rename the group The Berwick Players and they recorded original songs and had several releases on Look. Moving into the 70s the group effort came slowly to a standstill. Members moved and the group effort ended like so many band experiences.
