I really like the first comment on there...

"These guys are the reason I have a $3000 bari sax in the closet and drive a $500 car.

Lord Tracy-I met and partied with these guys when I was in the Marine Corps.,cool bunch of guys. Their bassist,Kinley "Barney" Wolfe,is a madman on the bass.

Here's a video of him doing a bass solo around 2008 I think

Nantucket

This band was actually from North Carolina and not Nantucket. I used to play both of these songs back in the late 70s with Lickety Split. They opened for The Doobie Brothers at the Johnstown War Memorial Arena in 1978. Very good band!
