The piano player and co-songwriter Bill Donohue is my cousin.He later went on to tour as a member of John Cale's band. Rob Wagner (vocals) is a dear friend of mine who, coincidentally, I am getting together with tonight. They were a band that filled a lot of clubs along the Jersey shore and played a lot of gigs in New Brunswick, NJ (court tavern). Can't wait to tell these guys about your blog.<BR/>They really were quite excellent live. If you want any more info on them, let me know.<BR/>Peace<BR/>JimUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07205989920540511693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6776777782419637264.post-54725339775344903622007-11-13T02:45:00.000-08:002007-11-13T02:45:00.000-08:00Thanks much.
