Remember THOR from the eighties?

Rich...Thor was around before 79'...The Merv show was from 73'.

Okay, ya got me there then... I just never heard of him until 1985 or 1986.

I have to admit...I was totally Anti Thor...Despised his music so it's funny that I end up sharing band members...To be honest...The music is not my cup o tea but my hat is off to Jon/Thor for making a living and having fun...Totally great guy!

Wow, if he was on Merv in 1973, how old is he? I'm an old coot and I was only 15 in 1973!

Hmmm, I'm thinking 1973 is a typo...if you go to Thor's website
http://www.thorcentral.com/

the pic at the top changes, it's Thor from various eras. The "Merv era Thor" is listed as 1976. There's a pic from 1974 where Thor looks quite young, I'd say teenaged. So I'd say the Merv appearance is closer to '76 or '77. I'll guess he's about 52 or 53 now.
