RIO
GRANDE (RCA Victor) This is a perfectly competent-plus mod-country band
which has gone virtually unacknowledged in print, led by a Texas music
man named Ronny Weiss whose name you might file.
In 1965, after
attending Tyler Junior College (Computer Science and Business), David
Stanley and Ronny Weiss (Mouse) formed Mouse and the Traps. That same
year they recorded their first chart single "A Public Execution" for
Fraternity Records. From 1965 to 1970 they recorded fifteen more 45
RPM's and toured extensively throughout Texas, Arkansas, and Louisiana
doing concerts with such artists as Vanilla Fudge, Booker T. and the
MG's, The Mamas & The Papas, Bobby Vinton, B. J. Thomas, and Joe
Stampley. In 1970, Dave and Mouse recorded an album for RCA Records
under the name of Rio Grande.
