The band started in 1960. The original members were Larry Steffler on drums, Mel Pratt on bass, Janet Weaver (vocals), Bob James on piano, and Rich Lean on guitar. There was also Ron Easterday on lead guitar and John Beach on saxophone. After high school in 1962 the band was Larry Steffler and the Ethics with Mel Pratt on Bass, Deanna Harvey - vocals, Michael Moore - piano, Duane McCasilin - guitar, and John playing saxophone.The band was very popular and in demand around the western side of Washington. We played high schools, dance halls, etc. We had three live appearances on Channels 11 and 13.
Larry Steffler, Bob James, Dick Lean, another guitarist whose name I can't remember, John, Mel Pratt and Janet Weaver started the group at North Thurston High. We were all sophomores and played all the pop 40 early 60s tunes as well as Freddy King, The Wailers and other groups of the time.
In 1965 Larry Steffler went in the Army. The group broke up sometime in 1966.
