Flora Ann Baxter wore a glass eye that was too small for her head. When she got excited, or laughed, the glass eye would roll around out of position, creating a memorable sight for all. Baxter's Glass Eye eventually shortened the billing name to just Baxters and broke up August 1971 after being together for 4 years. Band members were John Heinle - keyboards, vocals; Tommy Walker - drums, Andy Kuntz - bass, Jim Cunningham - guitar with Michael Kosmin as band manager. John Heinle continued with some local Philadelphia bands for awhile, though as of 1998 he had a day job like the rest.

Once again we see the extraordinary power of the Internet in action. I saw the band only once, in or near Wyncote, PA, sometime in the very early 70's, and thought they were great. Have any of them gone on to professional careers in music? And what was the story behind that name? Hi David,

Well! Once again we see the extraordinary power of the Internet in action.

I saw the band only once, in or near Wyncote, PA, sometime in the very early 70′s, and thought they were great. Have any of them gone on to professional careers in music?

And what was the story behind that name?
