The Lighthouse Band in Toronto, Canada and Carnegie Hall - Paul Hoffert, Skip prokop, Pinky Devon, Grant Fuller, Ralph Cole, Howard Shore

		The Lighthouse in Toronto, Canada. This shot was taken in Toronto, before their performance in Carnegie Hall.
	RCA sent me to Toronto to photograph their recent discovery, The group, Lighthouse. They were doing a gig in Toronto, then going to New York. I stayed with Skip Prokop, who was the drummer and one of the organizers of the group. Paul Hoffert, the other organizer, Ralph Cole, Pinky Dauvin and Grant Fullerton were the rock nucleus of the thirteen piece group. They were a great group of guys. I spent a lot of time with them in New York. Stories about Carnegie Hall, New York and Atlantic City (August 3, 1969), along with more photos will be forthcoming.

		Howard Shore - Sax, Flute & Trumpet -Recording in Toronto Canada *Howard received an Academy Award for writing the movie score for The Lord of the Rings.*
