-Ric Alba had this to say about the two bands:+[[Ric Alba]] had this to say about the two bands:
  
 >"“I played keys in [[Boaz]] starting in 1978. I met them when my drummer-since-childhood Frank Pipitone auditioned and joined J.C. Rose. Frank and I had 'got saved' at a hippie bible study group at the home of Ross Mann, and we had a hippy folk trio with Ross that broke up when Frank joined J.C. Rose. [[Ojo]] had a friend, Chris Wimber, with a band that needed a singer and keyboard player, so Ross and I joined up and there was [[Boaz]]. >"“I played keys in [[Boaz]] starting in 1978.

 >"Chris’ dad being John Wimber, we found ourselves opening for Lonnie Frisbee a number of times. Then we got some local notoriety for going, (gasp) “New Wave” when I wrote the song, “Francine” in 1979. This was the only [[Boaz]] song to outlive the big switcheroo of personnel when J.C. Rose and [[Boaz]] became [[Undercover]] and [[The Lifesavors]]. >"Chris’ dad being John Wimber, we found ourselves opening for Lonnie Frisbee a number of times.

 >"I had secretly idolized Taylor and Nicholson for their prog-rock abilities, as I was becoming a huge fan of Yes and Chris Squire at the time. I would have muscled my way into a band with them sooner but J.C. Rose’s bassist, Jerry Davis, had become a good friend of mine and I respected that. Jerry became John’s bassist for the Vineyard worship team, which lasted many years after that.” >"I had secretly idolized Taylor and Nicholson for their prog-rock abilities, as I was becoming a huge fan of Yes and Chris Squire at the time.
