Also did a great cover of the song I Believe. Both found on their albums, but seldom heard performed.

It is too bad the group now tours separately.. I went to a show in Mt. Dora a few years back, 2 of the originals, no Felix...they needed Felix, IMO, badly!
There used to be a TOTV member who went by the name CaptJohn who still had his B3 and Leslie speakers from back in the day. He hasn't posted anything for over 2 years. Hey Cappy, if you're still out there, jump in and say hi! We miss you on TOTV.
