The "Original" Windy Hill Singers were a folk trio formed in San Francisco in 1962. The original members were Buzz Kerr, Mike Pasqualetti, and Sam Saporta. From 1962-1966, the group was billed as "the ineffable apogee in folk singing entertainment". They played in a number of venues in the San Francisco-Sacramento area. The group played often as a duo (Buzz and Mike or Buzz and Sam). In 1965 a new member joined the group, George Chalmers. The "new" group performed as a trio (Buzz, Sam, and George) and a few times as a quartet with Mike. Buzz and Mike stayed connected occasionally singing together and recently re-connected, performed in San Francisco and Arizona, and recorded some tunes. Buzz has also recorded some of the traditional tunes that the group regularly performed by himself with multiple tracks to emulate the sound of the original group
