From the July 21-27, 2013, American Profile Magazine "Ask American Profile." QUESTION: "What can you tell me about Gary Puckett & the Union Gap? Is he still performing?"
ANSWER: "Puckett, 70, and the Union Gap, which had '60s hits "Young Girl," "Lady Willpower" and "Woman, Woman," are on this summer's (2013) Happy Together Tour with the Turtles, Chuck Negron of Three Dog Night, Mark Lindsay (Paul Revere & the Raiders and solo), and Gary Lewis & the Playboys. 'I'm very fortunate to have so many fans,' the singer says. 'I try to stay in good health and good voice,'
Born in Hibbing Minn., (wasn't that where Bob Dylan was born?) Puckett grew up in Yakima, Wash., and Twin Falls, Idaho, and lives in Clearwater, Fla., with wife Lorrie, with whom he has two grown daughters."
One of my favorite '60s bands, other than their choice of uniforms (but I guess with the name Union that is to be expected). His big hit songs had the same general notion. Good thing he didn't act on them. That tour would sure have been a good one to see.

Being an account of some things I'm interested in, what I'm doing, and reflections on my past, especially music.
Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.
