    Dave Michaels played among other intruments, following keyboard instruments: organ, piano and harpsichord
    (he played also clarinet and "recorder", which is a kind of flute)
    "The group included:
    * George Edwards (b. Charles Ethan Kenning, Chicago, 19 August 1943), vocals, acoustic guitar, electric guitar, guitarron, bass
    * Dave Michaels (b. David Miotke, Chicago, 1944), vocals, organ, piano, harpsichord, clarinet, recorder
    * Jerry McGeorge (b. Cincinnati, Ohio, 22 October 1945), bass, vocals - later replaced by Jeff Boyan
    * Tony Cavallari, lead guitar, vocals
    * Michael Tegza, percussion, tympani, vocals, drums"

    "The group’s strongest asset was the superb dual harmony lead vocals of Edwards and Michaels, showcasing Michaels’ operatic four-octave span with a blend reminiscent of the Jefferson Airplane. Michaels’ multi-instrumental virtuosity on organ, harpsichord, piano, clarinet, and recorder-often bolstered by session players on horns, clarinet, piccolo, and vibes-gave the band a much wider range of timbres than much of their competition."

    • Thank you. The keyboard is intriguing. It always puzzled me because it doesn't sound at all conventional. But, of course, nothing sounded conventional about the band.
