A trio backing
Vern Jackson,
at the Sheraton in Anaheim, CA
In 1975, Skip took
over for Johnny Higgins who played keys
and left-hand bass...
Sam played guitar and sang lead and back-up, Vern on vocals, Pat on
drums and one vocal song,
Disco Duck, because he was the only one who could do the voice.
Skip and Pat, with
Mark Cianfrani on guitar later remained a trio, after years at
the Sheraton.
They kept the name 'Changes' (see 1981),
got an apartment
together,
and set up a recording studio in the garage.
Vern can still be
seen regularly on TBN, singing praise and worship songs.
