In 1964-65, Charlie Cook and Ron Reedy were playing as a duo at talent contests and junior high school assemblies in Hillsboro. Keyboardist George Smith and drummer Kevin Harding, who had been practicing together, joined them to become The Voyagers. They played at school and street dances, private parties, teenage nightclubs and one Battle of the Bands. The Voyagers broke up when George got married and Kevin went off to College. Ron and Charlie joined other musicians to become the Eternal Sounds.

In 2009 the foursome sat down together for the first time in 40+ years. Ron and Charlie are still rocking together as members of Responsible Party. Kevin can be found playing hammer dulcimer or fiddle at local old-time and Irish jam sessions. George still plays a keyboard at home, enjoying string, flute and piano combinations.
