Identifying signatures (Beach Boys touring members)

I am curious if anyone had an opinion on this page (which is in rough shape) the obvious signature is Carl Wilson and drummer Mike Kowalski. The other names on here I can't quite make out. Was curious if anyone else wanted or could take a crack at it. It is on a 1968 tour program, but Mike didn't start touring with them till 1969. I am not a 100% sure is from the 1960's for positive. However the Carl and Mike look good to me. Any help would be appreciated.

Kowalski was there from 69 to 73 so there were only a few other official touring members from that time. I can't make them out.
John Stamos, kidding.

Haha. Yeah. I can't make a single other one out. I was even checking other bands that toured with The Beach Boys in 1969 and I couldn't find any other names that fit. A young John Stamos would be awesome! :)

Paul. I found this name on the front cover to be Johnny Barfield Jr. Who had a band called The Men from S.O.U.L which is wriiten on the inside. I am doing some more research on this hroup but I am betting the other signatures are from this band. Should narrow down the timeline from there from when they played with Beach Boys.

Skip Mcquin is the drummer of the group and that name I can make out on the inside by the written name of the group.

That makes sense then. Because generally it was the classic b boys back then.

Yeah. I can't find much about the band other then they had a hit in 67 called Mr. Starlight. I think with this being a 68 tour program and when Mike K played with the group I would say it is probably from 69. Which is cool. Going to try to do more research on it though.

Ok, I did some more detective work on this. On October, 27th 1968 The Beach Boys played at the Municipal Auditorium, Columbus GA* [also The Antique Zoo] I was able to find that Johnny Barfield and another band the 1910 Fruitgum company opened for them. Mike Kowalski was on this tour (I thought 1969 was his first appearance I was wrong) While I knew the the signatures were good it is cool to get an exact date and location for the signing.
