#16 FIND ANOTHER FOOL-QUARTERFLASH RINDY ROSS ALTO
#3 HARDEN MY HEART-QUARTERFLASH RINDY ROSS ALTO
#14 TAKE ME TO HEART-QUARTERFLASH RINDY ROSS ALTO
Rindy Ross was the lead singer and co-founder of Quarterflash, whose
award-winning debut album on Geffen Records went platinum in 1982. Marv Ross,
her husband, was the founder, guitarist-songwriter, and producer of
Quarterflash and The Trail Band. The Rosses have toured with Elton John, Linda
Ronstadt, and The Beach Boys.
This band from Portland, Oregon, were most renowned for October 1981's US #3
hit single, "Harden My Heart." This track also reached the UK Top 50.
Originally known as Seafood Mama, Quarterflash boasted the talents of
husband-and-wife team Rindy Ross (vocals, saxophone) and Marv Ross (guitar).
The other members of the band were Jack Charles (vocals, guitar), Rich Gooch
(bass), Rick DiGiallonardo (keyboards), and Brian Willis (drums). They had two
further US Top 20 singles with "Find Another Fool" (# 16, February 1982) and
"Take Me To Heart" (#14, June 1983). They recorded three albums, though their
1981 debut met with the most commercial success, reaching #8 in the US. The
band split up in 1985 after the release of Back Into Blue, but reformed in 1990
much to the delight of classic AOR fans.
Quarterflash held their final concert in 1995 in the same Portland, Oregon Park
where they had their first concert. Marv and Rindy Ross retired the band after
making one last unreleased album with four new songs, one of which, called "Sad
but True," is a gorgeous ballad by Rindy. Also, Marv sings his first song on
this album. Marv now has his own music studio and Rindy went back to school for
a Master's degree. Marv produced the Trail Band, commissioned by the State of
Oregon, in which Rindy also performed. They produced a CD and toured the Oregon
area

Hey Hank,you're very welcome.
Now a funny story about 'Lily was here'
I had been gigging with a band in Merseyside,afterwards at the bar a
lady came up to me and started asking questions about Saxophones,she
tells me she loves Saxophones and do I know the Candy Dulfer song
'Lily was here' which she loves!
I reply that I'd never played it but knew what it was.
"Will you come to my home and play it for me whilst I have a shower"
she says
LMAO!
I er.....had to decline her kind offer!!
My girlfriend would be most displeased!!!
