Probably the strangest gig the Agency ever played was for the Business & Professional Women organizations mother/daughter banquet. It came about because Mike’s mom was a member and asked if the band would like to play for it. They were evidently looking for something that would entertain the daughters. For 20 minutes the guys played rock and roll for their mothers—at least that's what it seemed like to the group.    The best dance they played was perhaps at the Madrid Odd Fellows Hall. The Agency put the dance on themselves which was not uncommon at the time. Charging $1.00 a head admission, they pulled in around 145 people in a town where they were unknown.    The worst gig was their last dance for the Ogden MYF youth group due to the fact that the band’s breakup was a short time away and it's presence was acutely felt.

						The reason for the Agency breaking up is not clear. A split had developed with Rich and Carl on one side, Mike and Ron on the other. Practices before their last job had become less and less frequent. Carl and Rich also seemed to be less in favor of group harmony. After the last gig the band just fell apart. There were no formal declaration of “I quit”; they just quit being a group.    All the members went on to play in other bands. Mike played in a band from Greene Co. named Purple Haze. He currently lives in Minnesota and works for a company that manufactures medical devices. Rich lives in Virginia and works for the American Red Cross. Carl, after spending many years as a Christian missionary to Taiwan, is currently a counselor in Omaha. Ron works for a statement mailing firm in Urbandale and lives in Boone.                                         previous page
