    This was one of the rare bands that always sounded as good live as in the studio. An amazing feat. Even in their “senior”:years. RIP Skip🙏

      Skip was just leaving Hill Park High school when I was in grade 9, but they came back and played in the gym at the year end concert and was blown away by the big sound of the band. McBride was in the band at that time as well. Went to see Lighthouse several years ago at a fine festival in St Catherine's and got to talk to Skip during a break. Such a nice man, so humble.

    The studio version of this song is popular with "Beach Music" people in the southeastern U.S.
    If you don't know the term "beach music", you can look up the full story somewhere. It's just music to which Carolina people have been dancing The Shag since the late 1940's. (No, this use of the word "shag" has nothing to do with the British term for sex.)
    "Pretty Lady" has the tempo and structure for couples dancing.
