Villan, I think you will find that The Golden Ring was not a short lived Chicago band. If you listen to the recording, it is Ed Trickett, Sandy & Caroline Paton, and such. The Golden Ring recordings were a gathering of friends, at a Chicago radio station, recorded and released on Folk Legacy Records. Here is how it is described on the Folk Legacy website:

Actually, the "Golden Ring" has never been an established group of specific individuals; it has always been more a concept, an approach to informal, non-competitive music-making by a gathering of friends, often solo performers in their own right, who simply enjoy singing and playing together. Our first recorded example of this was the "original" Golden Ring, recorded at WFMT in Chicago in 1963 and now available as Folk-Legacy's CD-16.

There were 3 recordings. The original Golden Ring, and the New Golden Ring, part 1 and 2. They are available from Folk Legacy HERE, scroll down to them.   I have all three and they are wonderful.

Support Folk Legacy, they are a treasure that deserves it.

All the best,

Mick
