“I played lead guitar but when they told me they needed a bass player, I played bass. When they said they needed a drummer, I played drums. It’s just what you did when you were a kid and wanted to play music. And that’s all I wanted to do.”
 
Two songs Boyd wrote for his 1966-68 band The Bare Facts, “Bad Part of Town” and “Georgiana”, led to a record deal with Jubilee Records. The next two songs were recorded on a subsidiary label Jay Gee Records. Today’s garage band fans consider his songs “Bad Part of Town” and “Georgiana” to be some of the best of the 1960s U.S. garage band music.
 
After The Bare Facts, Boyd joined the band Southwest FOB to play bass and sing. Dan Seals and John Ford Coley also were members of the band.

An update…the music world recently lost Dan Seals. Boyd comments, ”Dan was one of the sweetest individuals I’ve ever known. He was a terrific singer, songwriter and musician. I’ll never forget his kind and soft manner or his laughter at my jokes. I’m missing you, man!”
