In the beginning, a friend of a friend knew someone who knew Thea, who wanted to sing in a small group format, having been part of an a capella group, and wanted to explore other formats. Initially singing with a sextet as well as in a guitar/vocal duo, Thea and the group took shape finally as a piano trio. Frank knew Larry, and suggested that he become the drummer (there was a no-drummer format in the early stages), and after some other adjustments, Craig became the bassist. The fact that everyone but Thea is left-handed had nothing to do with it. That's the official story and we're sticking to it.
