RTH afternoon Coffee Break:
Several things about the Rascals:
1. What a freaking incredible drummer:

(note effortless upward crash cymbal motion at 1:12)
2. I didn't know they were a bassist-free band. Sounds like a bass on the records, especially on Lonely Too Long (my go-to example for a definition of syncopation).
3. Initial extremely goofy outfits:

(note pre-mop top Paulish-look incredible drummer boasting Geeter with the Heater hair)
4. Dynamite Jesus look make-over:

Thanks for that fine Rascals content, Tvox! You're dead-on about drummer guy -- shit-hot he was!
