Ah-Ha!!! Trick question- They had a band name but were introduced as Alessi brothers and friends which really ticked off the other two guys in the band, later on they also had a band named The Country Gentelmen and recorded their first record with them on Brent Records. The Country Gentelmen were Billy, Bobby, Don Droege on Bass and vocals and Bob Pelicane on drums and vocals.

--B-For Sail
--C-Avalon
--D-Seabird

Alrighty then!! They enjoyed sailing to Avalon, a beautiful little piece of paradise on Catalina Island, 30 miles of the coast of LA where the inspiration for the song Avalon comes from. The song "Seabird" was wriiten in NY before moving to LA thus an obvious choice for the sailboat's name.

Excellent!! A popular DJ in London decided he wanted to play Oh Lori instead of Don't Hold Back, the single pick by A&M records, the song quickly became a runaway hit and became a classic used in many movies, TV shows and is probably playing on the radio somewhere in the world at this very moment.
