The Classics
We were founded by Charlie O'Donaghue on drums and Chuck Gilbert on bass with the vision that rock and roll must be fun. Next to join was Dave Joki on guitar then Brian Brook on keyboard and recently Dan Mathis on guitar and harmonica. Everyone gets a shot on vocals and on back ups. Sometimes we get all 5 singing. Sometimes in key!..... Charlie has pounded the skins with The Cavemen, Joy Street Trolley and laeppaxes (read it backwards cause Charlie still has it!). Chuck diggin down low since 65 has been with The Caravans and The Gables. Brian has been key since 71, and Dave since 67 has been putting his home studies to good use. Dan rockin out since 77 and has been with Band For Life and The Effengees...... All of us are admittedly (not sadly) trying to relive our youth...... The group influnces range from the Animals to ZZ Top. Of course all us baby boomers list the Beatles as influential. Others include CCR, Jefferson Airplane, Elton John, Van Halen, Jerry Lee Lewis, Paul Revere and the Raiders... dig out those 8 tracks!..... The guiding band principle is to "KEEP THE CUSTOMER SATISFIED"
