Additional Information

The Bee Gees were a pop music band formed by three brothers (Barry, Robin, and Maurice Gibb) in 1958.  The group was particularly successful in the late 1970s disco era.  The Gibb brothers also starred in the musical comedy Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band, which was released in 1978.  Beatles songs are used as dialogue to tell the story of a band doing battle with the music industry.  The soundtrack contains new versions of the songs from the 1967 album Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band and the 1969 album Abbey Road.  In the film, Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band is a small town’s beloved marching band.  After the bandleader’s death, the band is re-formed by his grandson (played by Peter Frampton) and his best friends (played by the Bee Gees).  Initially, the film received negative reviews, but it has since become a cult classic.

Additional Information

AC/DC are an Australian hard-rock band founded by brothers Malcolm and Angus Young in 1973. Although they classify themselves as a rock and roll band they are often considered to be pioneers of the heavy metal genre. The band has had some changes in personnel throughout its career, but brothers Angus and Malcolm Young have been constant members throughout the band’s career. The band’s name came about when Angus and Malcolm’s sister, Margaret, saw the letters AC/DC on the side of a sewing machine. The letters stood for “alternating current/direct current,” referring to electricity. AC/DC really started to make it when they signed on with Atlantic Records for an International deal. After signing with Atlantic, the band’s logo was then designed by Gerard Huerta, the then art director at Atlantic Records, in 1977. The band continues to be successful and is, at present, one of the highest grossing bands of all time and was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in March of 2003. Some of the most well-known albums created by AC/DC are: Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap (1976), Highway to Hell (1979), Back in Black (1980), Stiff Upper Lip (2000), and many others.

The band's logo featuring the recognizable thunderbolt was designed in 1977 by Gerard Huerta who also designed the logos for Pepsi, HBO and Swiss Army Knife among others. The logo first appeared on the international version of the band's fourth studio album, Let There Be Rock.

Sunny Hill Resort and Golf Course is located in the Northern Catskills and has been family owned and operated since the 1920s when Peter and Gurine Nicholsen opened their farm to guests. The family added bungalows and slowly converted the farm into a fully functioning vacation retreat. After the barn burnt down in 1949 Sunny Hill no longer devoted any time to farming and went exclusively into the field of hospitality. Throughout the years the buildings and grounds have continued to be updated and refurbished. As the resort expanded new forms of transportation were employed to take guests on various day trips. The Doodlebug was one of these vehicles. The Doodlebug was originally a 1956 VW Bug that was converted into a vehicle to transport guests. The woodwork, on the Doodlebug, was handcrafted in the 1970s by a local man named Art Naperstek. The Doodlebug continues to be used to this day at the resort.
