HMS (His Majesty's Service) ~ The White Album

HMS was Dave Holmbo, Rick Bravine, Dave Swetman, Jim Talbot, and Phil Miglioratti.

We were a church band in the early days of what became Jesus Music.

Original songs were by Dave Holmbo (music) and Phil Miglioratti (lyrics).

Our front cover was white because we had no money for art work. I am certain we inspired another group that released a similar cover on November 22, 1968.

The album was a mix of church songs (#1-6) and Beach Boys (and some Beatles #7)) influenced rock music (#5, 6, 8-12).

We followed the self-produced album with a single: "Only A Name" b/w "She Loves Me She Loves Me Not."
