I am late to listen to this. What a beautiful sound they have. Every chord rings, just golden. I had to listen to If You Were the Only Girl (in the World) a second time. Does anyone know how things turned out for Uncle Mortimer?
I went to a HEP school and was coached by the GREAT Larry Wilson. Most coaches just say the routine remarks or just go thru the motions. Not Larry! He was all business! He got in my face and spoke to me...as a lead. Now I've been to many of those types of schools and events, and I appreciated every comment directed to me. But Larry spoke to me in a way that changed my life. I knew I didn't have "the Gift." But Larry gave me a focus that, in all my years of BBS, I ever had. Thank you Larry.
The first show I was in, in 1982 in Colorado Springs (Pikes Peak Chapter), they were the headliners and had just won the championship. For a newby like me it was an amazing experience.
Love "Paper Doll". P.S. In addition to Internationals, I saw Classic Collection perform twice; even sang bass with them doing the tag to "Songs Like Daddy Used to Play" (at an everglow).
Matthew Gorman Yes, it’s Lloyd Steinkamp. He was considered the Freddie King of the west coast. They were great friend and apparently constantly played hilarious pranks on one another.

I ran into Terry in 1983 in Maui on the beach. Great quartet and wonderful people

These guys were wonderful, trend setters and just plain good guys. I wish there was more video of them.
Who does the intro?
Matthew Gorman I believe it's Lloyd Steinkamp. Hilarious, heartfelt man.
