See You Saturday!

Hey! We are performing in Verndale, Minnesota, this Saturday night!

Be there or be square.

We like to call Verndale "Party Town, USA." Want to know why? Come out Saturday night and find out!

Meanwhile, today we were thinking about the historic gigs we've played in the past.

It is on the internet so it must be true.

The Rock 'N Roll Jamboree with Elvis. We were pretty new back then. Gene Vincent was a hoot. Here's a bit of trivia for you: did you know it was almost "Bill Haley and the Mugwugs"?? It is probably true. Ask anyone in the band.

Appearing with the Beatles in San Francisco, 1966. We knew it was their last gig, but Lennon made us take an oath of silence. Again, this is probably true.

Our first and only gig with horns at a high school dance in the 1950's. We decided it was too hard to sing while playing a saxophone. Also, we didn't know how to play saxophone.

See you in Verndale!

Thank You Todd County Fair!

We had a great time in Long Prairie last night--what a beautiful evening!

Thank you Todd County Fair for your hospitality and thanks to the beer garden and fried pickle booth folks for taking the lead and dancing the night away!
