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.

Kool Kountry (yecchh! I hate to even admit that one--NOT MY BAND, NOT MY IDEA!)
Wretched Outcasts

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".

I was in a country band with 3 Italian guys, who called themselves 'Spaghetti Western'.

double posted.

Autumn Daze.This was the most profitable band I was ever in.

Also! I've always wanted to have an experimental band called 'Boba Fetish'.

My girlfriend thinks this is dumb.

1. Goodness, Apple Pie, and Motherhood
2. Chipatokoff
3. Stark Naked and the Car Thieves.

Look, we all have a dark past of some sort, right?

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.

My all time favorite was a cw band down in south texas, Dildo Daddy and the Vibrations.

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"
