Late 1969 (ex Mystic) Sam Santospirito (Guitar), David Tyzack (Sax), & Peter MacDonald (Drums) joined up with Harry Zeckler (Keyboards/Trumpet) and named the group The Dominos. Rudi Vanjek, Brian Pinner and Stefan Santuccione all played drums until 1972. Phil Virgona (Bass) replaced David Tyzack (Sax) 1971. Frank Miccoli (Drums) from January 1972 to September 1977 and Joe Bocchetti to December 1978.
Although Gary was only 13 years old when he filled in for Harry Zeckler (Overseas travel for 3 months in 1972) it was a turning point for the group with improvement in Pop & Rock styles whilst retaining ballroom/continental. Harry noticed the improvement on his return and made a very unselfish and generous decision by asking Gary if he would like to join The Dominos permanently.
