Some years later, Dave Bell and Johnny Johnson replaced Horace Adams
and and McCann. This reformed aggregation was christened the Everglades
by Johnny Banks. Six years or so following their dustup with teen
records, they found themselves on the doorstep of BVP Records. The
Everglades cut "While Sitting In The Chapel" /" Do You Miss Me". But the
BVP platter wended its way to nowhere and the group cut another record
for Brenne "I Went To The S&S" and "Tell Me Pretty Baby". The group
have two other songs: "Train" and "Time After Time" released one year
later on the Coast Label under the strange name "The Go-Togethers".
