Agent had to remind us about why he's a charter member of this club. There is no HOF, here, but that pic might just be el supremo, if there were.

Her name is Bobby Provosty-Hill, originally from NOLA. She sang on a half dozen songs but her primary job was running sound. She also did the art work for the first album as seen at the website; she was married to the tall blonde lead guitar player. He is now the bass player for the stage band for Mountain Stage, a West Virginia originating NPR production. The other guitar player and the drummer who replaced me in 1980 are also in the Mountain Stage band. I was the only native West Virginian; a difference which lead to my departure from the band after four years. They were part of the "back to the land" movement as reflected in this 40 year old photo of their "commune". Bobby is at 6:00; sitting with the kids. Bobby was my favorite of all these folks. She is as beautiful inside as she is outside. She is back in NOLA I believe.

BassAgent's pictures always remind me what the difference is between
1) learning how to play a song, and

2) learning how to perform the same.

Boy, did we have fun.. And our normal singer isn't any less fun to look at..

Yes, you should all move to the Netherlands I guess..
Bassagent's pics of his singer...um...distracted me...that's a politically correct term...

And I almost missed this beautiful young lady.

And that would have been a shame.

I've come to the conclusion that there just aren't any unattractive women in the Netherlands.

She caught my eye too, my guess was '74.

Brought back nice memories of that time! (I was in high school)
