Silver Laughter 1976 – Jon, Ken, Carl (sound and lights), Paul and Mick

Click here to listen to “Ob La Di, O La Da” from the Calgary Beatles Tribute #1 from July of 1977.

This song was a blast to play and got great responses wherever we went. Though I often sang the “Paul McCartney” parts, Jon did a beautiful job on this one. Paul on drums and vocals, Ken on bass and vocals, Jon on guitar and lead vocal and me on piano and vocals rounded out the lineup. Carl is at the sound board and did the lights which is why I included him in this picture from our 1976 Worthington photo session. That is a “Silver Laughter Tribute to the Beatles” T-shirt Carl is wearing, one of several Art had done for us.
