The group drifted apart and around 1974 was re-formed with ex-members of Cabbage John McNulty (lead guitar), Jack Bennett (bass), and Foster Peacock (drums).
The new group began playing regularly at Four Corners. Over the next few months of rehearsals Peacock recalls, the band changed members “more often than we changed our socks.” At one point the group added John Armstrong (trombone). Peacock noted “we must have been the only country-rock band in history with a ‘bone player.”
McNulty and Bennett eventually left the group, and Ed joined on keyboard / guitar. Harger also left and was replaced with bassist Gary ‘Truck’ Doering. This quartet of George, Ed, Truck, and Foster worked together for a year or so and was represented by Charlie Steinmetz at Starleigh. They performed often at Blue Bell’s in Bel Air.
The group began to add heavier rock to their repertoire. Weyforth eventually quit, taking the name River with him. In spring of 1976 the group became known as Whitewater and they were seen at Mimmie Jr’s… The group continued to evolve and was also known at times as Scarlett Sunrise, and Borderline.
Lardieri was later with Trigger Happy. Marguerite went on to Catwhistle. McNulty joined Jeopardy. Watson went on to Incubus, Scott Cunningham Band, Catwhistle… George Weyforth went on to join the Gettysburg based Ridin’ Shotgun, and later with the Gibson-Weyforth Band, Steve Moody & 45RPM… Billy Weyforth also played for Freestyle, Detour, Great Train Robbery, Mascaraid, Steve Moody & 45rpm… Rick Weyforth also played for Ridin’ Shotgun, and Steve Moody’s 45RPM. Doering later with F.A. Duck, Walter Jay & Texas Flood…
