Scope and content
This publicity picture of "The Interludes;" Roger Laybourn, left, and Don Allard, right, was ordered by Star-Hi Records in June 1959. The 18 year old Fircresters and graduates of Wilson High School were the latest Tacomans to place their hopes on a hit record. Their first recording "I Want You To Know" was released on the Star-Hi label throughout the west by their manager Russ Malray of Tacoma. The duo performed together locally as singers, accompanying themselves with guitar or piano, and also with their own combo. When playing as a rock and roll combo, the duo were joined by Steve Ward on the drums, Fred Stabert on the saxophone and Bert Anderson on the bass. The pair started performing together after the 5 voice vocal group they were part of broke up. Their combo played formal dances at Wilson HS and Hunt middle school. TPL-5691 (TNT 6/28/1959, pg C-14)
