This is as a reunion concert performed in 2001 of a group that became famous for their flying saucer record album covers in the 1970's when we still had tariffs to protect our industries.
Rick and Dorothy partnered personally and professionally from 1995 to 2025.

Vocals and singalongs were often part of the show.
