Our Magic Carpet Ride

 In 1966 The Whitsuntide Trio became the The Whitsuntide Singers when we added Barb, our first of three female vocalists.  One of the higher profile venues we played was The Flying Carpet Hotel in Rosemont, Il. (by O'Hare Airport).  We performed in their show lounge, as the property mimicked the Las Vegas strip.  Crowds were large, appreciative, and way over served!  We were riding the wave of folk music's exploding popularity.  This iteration of the group most resembled "The Seekers" or "We Five".  We were a good cover band for the hungry masses who didn't know the difference!
