Eelco spent his childhood in Loosdrecht (where he had moved in his first year of life). At the age of eleven, his parents moved to Assen. Gelling became a pupil-photographer at the court, where he was then dismissed because of his long hair. He formed the early 1960s with Nico Schröder (BAS), Hans Kinds (percussion guitar) and Wim Kinds (drums) the Rocking Strings. After attracting Harry Muskee (ex-bassist of the Old Fashioned Jazzgroup) as a singer, the band was named Cuby + Blizzards. Muskee lived in a small farm in the Drentse Grolloo that used the band as a practice room. See for more.
