They both went on to attend the University of Florida in Gainesville, where they performed in a freshman talent show before 5,000 students and won.
With the program ending at 10:30pm, they felt it appropriate to sign off with a song they had composed in high school in 1953, "It's Almost Tomorrow" (words by Buff, music by Adkinson).
However, it was the only chart appearance by the group in the UK, thus condemning The Dream Weavers to the one hit wonder tag.
In March 1956, Buff married Mary Rude, who was a fellow 1952 graduate of Edison High and had sung with the group.
He let Adkinson have full control of the group, and as a result of auditions in New York, Lee Raymond replaced Buff.
