I saw the following Fan Club posting for BENNY ORZECHOWSKI/BEN ORR [1], of Parma, of the Cars - on Craig's List (which I thought was interesting) - and I figured folks on realNEO may be interested and able to help out... and enjoy the early 1960s Cleveland roots rock classic posted below (nice guitar).
This fan club announcement will definitely last lots longer here on REALNEO than on Craig's. The only contact info is the Craig's List reply email, and I don't know how long that will stay active, so best reach out right away if you are a fan of "Benny 11-Letters".

Seeking photographs of BennyOrzechowski, Cleveland's own BENNY ELEVENLETTERS who became Benjamin Orr of Bostons NEW WAVE group The Cars.
I am seeking photographs of Benny from his days in Parma as well as candid photographs of him onstage and off. I am trying to also locate video and or photographs from when Benny was playing with the UPBEAT Tv show in the house band THE GRASSHOPPERS with Paul Anka. Cars photographs are welcome as well.
Please let me know if you are willing to share from your collection. We are a non profit group honoring his life and memory.
