Paul Zyp - vocals - Hammond - always wanted to be a drummer Claim to fame: had enough jam to sing standing in the middle of a bunch of bikers at the Orange County Pop Festival, on a center walk out stage. Also has an amazing ability to find obscure songs, that no one ever heard of, so if we screwed them up, who would know? |

Gerald Bachand - vocals - drums - always wanted to be either Tom Jones or James Brown. Still thinks he is. Claim to Fame: owns 1/2 the original double drum kit from the Graham Waifer. Jeff wants it back. Keeps filling his shop with equipment for us to use. Lots. And Lots. |

Don Wagar - guitar - tries to sing backup, but, well, he can't - always wanted to be Eric Clapton, Mike Bloomfield and/or Jeff Beck. Claim to Fame: used to play a 1955 Les Paul Special (see picture). Stupidly sold it. Eventually bought another Les Paul. Well, two. Two and 1/2 if you include the '60 Melody Maker. It's a sickness. Ask his girlfriend. His main Les Paul was owned by Mick Ralphs of Bad Company. Finally discovered Marshall Amps. What took so bloody long? Been playing in the 'Older Than Dirt Band' in Calgary for the last 15 years or so. |

Bruce W. Okrainec - bass guitar - the only one of us who committed to music, plays Double Bass in the Winnipeg Symphony - always wanted to be Jack Bruce. Claim to Fame: Played possibly the largest Traynor bass rig ever at Orange County. It was bigger than he was. |

Gary Okrainec - Steel guitar - always wanted to be in a country band, but, we wouldn't let him. Claim to Fame: Possibly the first player in the world to plug a fuzz tone, treble booster and wah wah pedal into a steel guitar, and play blues slide licks. |
