Comments:
Before the band broke up, it seems that the last song we were learning and practicing was the Beach Boy's 'Good Vibrations'. I don't remember if we ever performed the song anywhere, however. Great band, great potential, great memories, but each member had too many other interests & talents, and could not fully commit themselves to 'the music'. But, ultimately, No Regrets. We had a Great time!

 

 

Where are they now?

Dave is back living in Clawson and working for a major yellow page company. Musically, Dave just finished some background vocals on his brother Gordy's CD, 'EVERY ALLEY WALL', the first Red Weather release which should be available by March, 2001. Dan is living nearby in Troy, MI, but not sure what he is doing professionally, & Bob is working for an oil company and living in the SouthWest somewhere; Doug is independently wealthy and living in Rochester Hills (It was that 'look'); Mitchell is probably thinking about retiring from Chrysler about now. Last I heard, Bedford was living in Florida probably consulting with NASA to help them figure out the problems with their Mars missions.
