Thank you. I wanna introduce the band to you. I know you wanna know them. So, on the drums tonight, from Great Britain, Ian Wallace. On the bass guitar, a very fine bass player, Mr. Jerry Scheff. On the keyboards, from the great state of New Jersey, Alan Pasqua. From Mobile, Alabama on the lead guitar, Billy Cross. From Detroit, on the conga drums, Miss Bobbye Hall. On the rhythm guitar tonight, a young man, a songwriter in his own right, Mr. Steven Soles. The youngest member of the group, he’s right over here, he's only a baby, he just learned how to play the violin last week. Plays the violin and the mandolin, David Mansfield. On the tenor saxophone, a young man who gave up a career as a scientist to join this band, Mr. Steve Douglas. On the background vocals tonight, three young ladies who deserve much appreciation, I assure you, give them a big hand. On the right, my fiancée, Carolyn Dennis. On the right, my cousin, Jo Ann Harris. And in the middle, a young lady who’s got a great future, Miss Helena Springs. This is a song from 1964, I think. Recorded in New York City, called It's Alright Ma, I'm Only Bleeding >
