Judy Henske & Jerry Yester
Judy Henske had made a name for herself in Hollywood as a singer/songwriter and part-time actress (she was with Woody Allen for a while). She met Jerry Yester, a respected folk musician himself, in 1963 and they began making music together occasionally. Judy and Jerry were married at the time they recorded Farewell Aldebaran (1969) for Frank Zappa's Strait Records. The couple eventually split up and went their separate ways musically.

Noh Mask
Michael Silverstein was involved in a couple of moderately successful Belgian post-punkish bands (Digital Dance, The Names) in the late 70's and early 80's. In 1984, he joined up with singer Bernard Dradin in Japan and the two took a decidedly sharp turn into New Wave territory. They quietly released the EP Gaijin and quickly followed it up with the 12" Oriented LP under the name Noh Mask.
