Biography :
Ralph
Towner, a 1958 Bend High graduate, is the lead singer and guitar player
for a vocal group named the Regals. Other members of the singing group
are Rick Brown (Tenor), Dave Finney (Baritone) and Ray Ebert (Bass).
Ralph is a sophomore music major at the University of Oregon. The new
group got together in dorm sessions, progressed to campus appearances
and finally had a tape recording played by a disc jockey in The Dalles.
An agent heard and liked The Regals and has booked them for professional
appearances in Oregon and Washington. Ralph
Towner composed the words and music for the group's only recordings on
the Lavender label "See You In The Morning" and "Yes My Love." The
record was released in the Northwest in early 1960. Towner has also
written most of the Regals' repertoire of 40 numbers. The group has been
well received on both Oregon and OSC campuses, and has made several
radio and television appearances in the state.
