(Howard is well-known one way or another. The extent of his true involvement with Fox Television has suddenly become unclear. There is more than one Famous man named Howard Gordon, who have graced the halls at Fox. Our Howard we now believe has his name on a pair of professional Drumsticks, and a New York City based Jazz Band, but still has a claim on the script of Fox's Beauty and the Beast from the 70's and 80's. See the Blog for more info)

Jeff Southworth- Guitar (Jeff played guitar for Hall & Oates -solo on "Kiss on My List, and all Guitar parts and Solo on Kefa's "Ouijahnbu" and "Blue Lake"; and played with many other artists including Laura Branigan, Graham Nash & Dan Hartman. His Clio winning television and radio commercial work includes writing, arranging and producing for Whitney Houston, Aretha Franklin, Ray Charles, Wynona Judd, Aaron Neville, Leann Rimes and Steve Harwell of Smashmouth. Currently, he's been writing and producing original music for the hit PBS children's show Dragontales. Jeff explores his capabilities from live roots rock, jazz, country, new age and pop to the cutting edge of digital audio technology and computer music)

Pete Hansen - Guitar (Reportedly Played with Ronnie James Dio and Peter Gabriel)

Steven Delvecchio - Guitars and Recording Engineer

Dave Ogrin - Recording Engineer ( Dave is best known for his production of the Hip-Hop sensation "Jam On It" by Newcleus)

Al Stefanelli-Keyboards - Al was a close collaborator with (Josh) Jahn Kefa during High School. They performed together in the band: "FEEDBACK" which was the first time Jahn had two keyboard players in the same line-up; the only other time Jahn used two Keyboardists was Jahn's Finale Performance in 1989 at Theatre for the New City. (In today's world, Al is famous for being a "Shock Columnist" on the southeast coast of the U.S. He also received an Ordaination as a minister in a Southern Biker church. He raises a large family in the deep south very independently from the "Establishment".

Al Pitrelli - The Most Noteable Guest, who made a cameo appearance live on stage with our very first band: "The Guys Nobody Ever Heard of", when we were 15 years old in 1978.
