I think the name of the composition is "Once Around".  It is the opening cut off their first record on Solid State records.

Tune was on their first album in 67. ..........."Balance Scales = Justice"

Looks like JoHen sitting in the left of the sax section. Would love to see a clip from the same time where he gets a chance to blow a bit with the band. Anybody know of anything like that in existence?
