David Lee just sent us this wonderful image, which Benjamin Guest of the Constellations gave him and his wife as a 50th anniversary present a few weeks ago. At the party, Mr. Lee and his wife danced to the heady and deeply moving Constellations ballad “If Everybody,” which will appear on the forthcoming Bachelors comp. These guys look like real pros, albeit teenage ones.

We hope to meet with and interview the Guest brothers, guitarist Don Camp, and drummer Harold Allen soon. Stay tuned for more Constellations news and notes.

Happy New Year, y’all!
