Biography

A group of us got together playing at open stages and fund raisers and, after playing for fun, the four of us decided we would like to get together and do some “serious musical work”. After a few jam sessions we felt we could do some good stuff and entertain people along the way. Being from different musical preference backgrounds our music covers a wide range of styles and eras. We have old/newer country, swing style, good old rock and roll, songs to make you laugh and dance. All the guys sing and we have some good harmonics.

Bruce, our lead guitar vocals guy, says the guitar has been his source of expression for many years. Due to an index finger, needed for fretwork, injury his playing was put on hold. A micro hand surgeon was able to repair it. Bruce thought his playing days were over but years later decided there were other people who had done great things with greater disabilities. So we are thankful that he decided this as he is a great guitarist and his musical knowledge is an inspiration to us.

Dave, our bassist and another vocal guy, has been playing music of one sort or another since high school marching bands, Air Force bands and several individual bands over the years. He now plays in a summer band at Brighton on the Bay and with us spring, summer, fall and winter. We are happy to have Dave with us as he is another great addition instrumentally and vocally to our group.

Mike, our rhythm guitarist, sound man and another vocal guy, has played in various bands and has done a lot of voluntary open stage work in the area. He has been involved with music since his teenage years. Mike adds a lot of zip to our group and is another great addition to our sound.

Linda, our drummer, and not another vocals guy, has been Mike’s groupie over the years and decided she would like to participate in this endeavour so she took up the drums. She keeps us in line (aka Sticks).
