In 1977 he travelled to the USA to attend various religious festivals. While in the US he formed One Foundation with bassist Joe Creighton (ex-Melissa) to play at Mission conventions. On his return to Australia, Ross, and Joe Creighton formed Billy T with guitarist Russell Smith (ex-Company Caine), drummer Mick Holden (ex-The Mixtures), percussionist Geoff Maling and Neal McPherson on keyboards.
