In The Pink May 1, 2012

During the late 1970's to get the so called "Good Gigs" you had to look and play the part. Valdy recalled playing bass in the "Foundry Brass" at the Old Forge wearing an orange tuxedo with gold lapels. Today's picture (courtesy of Harry Creech) is the "Ted House Trio" shot at Beacon Hill Park. L-R Ted House, John Demers (RIP) and Ken G Williams.
