Not the kind of sax player you want at your daughter's 'sweet 16' party! It's a halloween party at 'Under the Stone'in the late 1990's. Loren Barrigar is on guitar and Frank DeFonda is on drums.

Here's a shot at the 2005 Sammy's with my old pal Dave Porter. We met in 1964 when the band I was in, 'The Ridgewoods' played a dance in Fayetteville. Dave and his band, 'The Exiles', stopped in to check us out. We've been friends ever since.

One of the best singers anywhere is my friend Ronnie Leigh. He just keeps getting better and better. Here he looks like he's trying to console me for having to read the lyrics for a song we did together at Apple Jazz in 1998.

When is the last time you saw a State Senator jamming with the band? Senator John DeFrancisco (R) NY is a true public servant, a nice guy and a sax-player. We jammed on 'Night Train' at an appreciation get together for the Senator in 2005.

Summer of 1973 again. You'd never guess by the photo that Mark and I were on the verge of a nervous break down and that the dream we had worked so hard on was about to end. Both Mark and I wonder " were we ever that thin?"
