Ok, I knew the bass was Dick but the video quality was so poor AND  
they never came in on his face, I wasn't able to make out the chord  
player. 'I' thought his shoulders were too wide and hair too reddish  
to be Pete Whalen.

This was probably in the time period (about 67) when Herb Eck was an  
executive with the railroad and living over in Ohio and therefore not  
as active with Jack. It was the same time period that my wife & I  
would dance to Jack's band.

 In earlier years (51-59). Herb & Jack had been on the Wilken's  
amateur hour in Pgh and were the opening act many times at Kennywood  
amusement park for visiting acts, or my friends Jimmy Beaumont  
(Skyliners) or Luigi Sacco (Lou Christie).
