RCS is moving to a new home at http://rcs-discography2.com, where it will be in the capable hands of the new discographer, Luz Buri (luz.buri@gmx.ch). After 47 years with the project (26 on the public Web), I have decided that the time has come for me to turn this massive undertaking over to someone with younger eyes, more energy, and fresher ideas, who can bring new vitality to RCS. Please change any bookmarks or links you maintain.

Welz, Joey

Real name Joseph Wallace Welzant. Born 1940 in Baltimore, Md. Formerly with Bill Haley's Comets.
Joey's bio of his time with the Comets is available by email request to joeywelz@webtv.net .
