The Association is a new singing group that covers the widest range of the popular idiom. The group has been called the first "show rock" group because they can play bluer blues than the Rolling Stones, harder hard-rock than the Raiders and put more folk into folk music than the Kingston Trio. The six-man group practiced feverishly for five months to get their sound perfected before their opening in the Pasadena Ice House. Their first big hit was "AlongCame Mary," followed by "Cherish," which sold over a million copies. The members Of this extremely popular group are Jim Yester, guitar; Ted Blueshel, drums; Gary Alexander, guitar; Terry Kirkman, guitar; Brian Cole, bass; and Russ Giguere, guitar. Tickets are on sale at the Lodge desk on the University campus and last reports say that only a limited number are left. ###.
