My SIL's father was in the Army and she grew up in England and went to high school with the two guys from the band America. Apparently they were Army brats too. She and my brother recently got to see them in concert and afterward she got to talk to them briefly. As soon as she said the name of the high school they said "Go Wildcats!", referring to the name of their team back then.

Sorry TBF, I almost forgot to answer your question, although I don't know much. I think she did show me an autographed picture of them. She said she was more the age of Dewey's brother.

Here's what Wiki says about their early years...
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Sons of American fathers and British mothers, their fathers being military personnel stationed at the United States Air Force installation at RAF West Ruislip, London, all three attended London Central High School, at Bushey Hall, about 16 miles Northwest of London, in during the mid-1960s where they met while playing in two different bands.

PM-I don't know if your husband is actually into the ukelele or if it's because it's a Beatles tune, it is amazing nevertheless. Here's another one I thought he might like to check out. It is by Greg Hawkes, former keyboard player for my beloved Cars. I really like some of them but then others that he does like the Cars songs just don't sound right as ukelele music. I really like this version of Eleanor Rigby tho.

Now that is a couple who will probably be married for about a gazillion years because they know how to have fun and don't care about the "politically correct" way to do things!!! I would love to know their story and how they came up with that. Best of luck to them for a very very long and happy life together.

Thanks LR for posting that!
