The band's name went on for many years afterwards. The version represented above gigged mostly in Alaska.From 1965 to present, Maitland Ward performed with artists that included Madonna, Sheena Easton, Jeffery Osborne, and Donna Summer. He was currently with Kenny Loggins.
The above photo is from early 1973 and includes these five members, Linda Burden, James Lawill, and guitarist Victoria Nutter, Gary Kraun and Doug Johnston. This band did mostly covers with a few originals thrown in and played in clubs in and around Washington and Oregon in 1973, with most gigs being in Seattle and Portland.
