Wow. Excellent. Now if more of the TJB "ghost band" members were recognized.

 

[Mr Bill]

Awesome that someone caught this on video. To bad they were shooting the video from a rocking boat or something (I was getting seasick watching it).

Cool plaque. Interesting that they used a "Forget Me Not" series copy of "Taste of Honey" instead of the original ochre label. (It's in the 45 in the center of the arrangement.) The rest of them looked like the original labels. The upper left was obviously "Love Will Keep Us Together" (silver 70s A&M label), then going clockwise: Sinatra (orange Reprise label), Fifth Dimension (black and gold Soul City label), Simon & Garfunkel #1 (red Columbia label), second Fifth Dimension then second Simon & Garfunkel.

Great video!! Thanks for sharing, Captain!
