Nothin' like a party! Ken Barnard and Keith Kittredge were from the Mastertones and Bill Sheridan and Mark Watkins were wandering minstrels looking for local talent and together the band made good music.

Where are they now?
Summer, 2004

Bill Sheridan is living in Lincoln Park and at this writing cannot tell the difference between a Hammond Organ and a Jack Hammer. Keith an Ken Have disappeared from radar. Mark Watkins is still jammin' with the likes of JR Bondy and a keyboard player jimmy Druzbik in California.
