Editing OK Dinghy

Initially called the ''Bodacious Motherfuckers'', ''OK Dinghy'' were formed in Te Kuiti in the late-1960s or early 1970s after the members moved to a commune there from Ponsonby. The first stable lineup comprised [[Todd Hunter]] (vocals), [[Ray Goodwin]] (guitar) and [[Div Vercoe]] (drums). ''Goodwin'' had previously been in Hamilton bands [[Third Reich Blues Band]] and [[The Jacob Manning Group]]. Influences included ''Miles Davis'', ''The Greatful Dead'' and ''The Beatles'', and the band played regular gigs at [[Waikato University]] during this time. Successive drugs busts moved the band to ''Eureka'' and then ''Hamilton'' (a house on Lake Road). However, they eventually moved to Auckland where they evolved into [[Dragon]] (''Hunter'' and ''Goodwin''). ''Vercoe'' was briefly a member of ''Split Enz''.
