Whoo hoo! Ted is a hero and he does rule! :-) Glad he helped keep them together in different ways.

Only Ted Bluechel Jr. (far left, cool shirted mustachioed man)is here. All the others were touring artists, lip syncing to whatever group they were on that night ie. The Grass Roots, The Association...and so forth. Thank goodness Ted held the band together, in whatever form, until more originals returned! -- See "The Association 1983", for a reunited original group, from The Spindles! P.S. Ted is a music HERO! Ted RULES!!!!

Terry Kirkman wrote this song and sang the lead. He's NOT in the video. Something's definitely fishy here. Seems like nobody from the Association is in this.

Ok, thanks for clearing that up.

Yep, that's Ted for sure. He's the guy on the left singing while I believe Russ Levine is playing drums here. This promo film is from 1978. The Along Comes Mary(Live w/lyrics) is from around 1987/1988. And that is definitely Bruce Pictor(with moustache just as he looked then) on drums there.

what is different about music now is that the good stuff much be actively searched for. Dont expect to be spoon-fed all your favorite music by the media. Go take a deeper look at whats going on when the tv is turned off. Caribou, the flaming lips, the ruby suns...do yourself a favor.

Jimmy, are you sure that's Ted Bluechel? Check out the video here of Along Comes Mary ( Live w/ lyrics). The drummer here is given as Bruce Pictor and he looks just like this guy on the left.

hauntboy (July 5, 2008 at 12:23 pm)

Everyone seems to be saying it is Ted Bluechel and I'm no expert, but if you look at the Along Comes Mary ( w/lyrics)video, Bruce Pictor is listed as the drummer and he looks exactly like this guy at the far left. There are therefore no originals on this video.
