Some great stuff here. This really brings back memories of watching variety shows as a kid growing up in the sixties/seventies. I would love to know who wrote that song "Under the Sea," which is really a standout. I also really dig those Golddiggers albums, and your Reports from the Country.

She was also a Miss California contestant in the later 60's. I'm looking for her because there is a possibility of a band that she and I both sang with (the Jim Burgett Band) will be having a reunion. I would love to find her.

Tour De 4Force has an album coming out in december. Since leaving the Pipers, I've worked with singers like Stevie Wonder, George Duke, Quincy Jones, Michael Jackson, James Taylor, Dolly Parton, Stella Parton, Whitney Houston, Henry Mancini, etc. I appeared in Wag the Dog andNaked Gun 2&1/2. After going thru Vietnam in 67 and 68, I'm just glad to still be alive. Anything else is pure gravy. My best to all the Doodletown Pipers and hope to one day see you all once more. I'm still in touch with Mike and Elaine Campbell, Patryce Banks, Tommie Webb and Sherry Doree from time to time.</p> I’m singing with Loose Ends and Tour De 4Force.
