HANNAWA FALLS â Double Axel, a rock ân roll band begot in the 1970s when the live music scene in Potsdam was a dynamo of energy, talent and creativity, is celebrating its 50th anniversary, and its three band members have thoughts on the reasons for reaching that milestone, ranging from personal chemistry to being at the right place at the right time.
But in Brushton, Franklin County, one fan among the thousands has her own reasons as to why she thinks the well-traveled band has created such a north country legacy.
âTheyâre just such people-oriented persons,â Tammy B. Crinklaw said. âThey look like everyday guys that you would just stop to visit with. Some of these other bands around try to look like something or somebody. They try to dress alike or try to have an image. These guys arenât like that. They just come the way they are. Theyâre just all-American guys.â
