They were raised in a orphanage in Presto,
Pennsylvania.
"The John Brown Home for Contrite Boys". This home
was for wayward boys that wished to turn over a new leaf in
life. In the sad case of The Hannies they were all young
boys and ruffians..picked up by the police for a mixed bag
of petty crimes and living on the streets. The charges
against them ranged from stealing chickens to defacing
U.S.currency . Another odd aspect of the lads is that they
have no last name. They each arrived at the John Brown Home
with no birth records or any idea of their last names.
Never-the-less, from the start all of the boys had a bond...
and that has developed into a brotherhood.
The
legendary band with its own style that has entered and
stayed in the minds of many.
