Nice to see Lighthouse get some love. I REALLY like the song, but no one will dance to it, and that's how we would get hired back. Pat Upton with Spiral Staircase did a guest appearance with us at an outdoor show. I played mostly "Beach Music" but an earlier version of Bill Deal and the Rhondels had a number of hits in the late 60s and early 70s. Another band back then that was really impressive was a group called The Ides of March... or maybe it was the mood enhancers I was trying out back then
