Lloyd Thackston (hey! Russ was on this show when he was in high school in Los Angles. He was in a band called the Box Boys with a song called Cherry Pie. The tv show – before they would let them on the air – gave them the choice of changing the name of the band or the name of the song. So they went on the show as the Box Boys singing “Apple Pie.” Censored!)
