Currently:
'Elephant Island'. We get lots of questions! Most of them are regarding a local winery...

Past favorites:
'Sgt. Singalong and the Military' (I made that! It's so dumb!) 7 piece country-ish band-lots of Gram Parsons, Byrds, the Band etc.

'The George Bushes' VERY controversial. I wonder why? 2 lead singers who grew up on punk music, a studio hound and a couple hippies playing old-ish country-type music. Very popular in our hometown until we broke up the night after our biggest and most successful show. The cause of my only hate-mail ever!!

'Murphy Sandwich' or 'The Cobras' 3 piece folk duo with two brothers named Murphy.

Around 1973 I worked briefly with a band called "QUINCY FLOG".
It sounds all weird and kinky, but they were just a bunch of guys trying to be cutting edge or something . .

First band, in 1959 - "Tunedusters".

Can't remember some of them but the current band is the "Hushpuppy Band" - the house band at Catfish Johnny's Restaurant. And when we work with Tommy Cash it's the "Cash Crew".

In the mid seventies I was in a band called Road Apple. We used to give road apples wrapped in aluminum foil with a fork in 'em for door prizes. We didn't get rich, but from what I remember we had fun. Much of that decade is a fog.

Hey, Rich W., I was also in that band, possibly before you were. David Blasucci, John Berrafato, and Michael Della Gala, right? Except for Dave, the whole band has changed.

When I was 13, I got into 60s psychedelic music and had a band called "the Strawberry Atmosphere." Then we became "Zombo" then "Alice Groin."

Then of course there was the short-lived "Tony Orlando and Dong"
