      No kidding about talent.I hear cars go by our house w nothing but boom boom coming from cars.I hate the music my 16 yr old grand daughter listens too.Smutty rap music,& I mean smutty.Not sure how her dad let's her listen to it.🇨🇦

      Yes, I am here. My first experience with the group was in a small theater in the round in New Jersey. It was a most enjoyable experience. Then and now. Multiple octave voice.... reminds me or Bobby Hatfield of the Righteous Brothers. Music, lyrics and presentations of the 60's groups were fantastic. I grew up with this music, and for me it will never get old.

    Gary lived three doors down from us in San Diego....we would walk down and listen to them practice in his garage. Millwood Rd. SD. My mom and his stayed friends till they passed. Choir boy hit the big time.
