**Bio: The New Lime** The New Lime, originally formed as The Savoys in 1962 by high school students in the northern Kentucky/greater Cincinnati area, became one of the most prominent bands in SW Ohio and northern Kentucky. The band's founder and lead singer, Gary Lee Fausz, along with early members Mickey Foellger, Jim Geyer, Fred Stanger, Mike Boyd, and Dave Cassell, established a strong presence in the local music scene. In 1964, The Savoys recorded their first 45 at King, showcasing their vocal ballad and hot rod instrumental. By 1965, they changed their name to The New Lime due to the existing national recording band named The Savoys. Their sound evolved into commercially appealing pop-rock with strong vocals and distinctive keyboard elements, leading to local hits and a spot in the top circuit of teen and college dances. The New Lime recorded multiple 45s, including "Your Turn to Cry," and their first Counterpart release, "That Girl," which gained significant local popularity and was later picked up for national release by Columbia. The band continued to produce original songs, primarily written by Fausz and Foellger, solidifying their reputation for quality music. Over the years, the lineup changed, with members leaving and joining, including the return of Jim Stanger on bass and Ed Wilbers on keyboards. The New Lime recorded their final Counterpart 45 in 1971 before disbanding in
