The College Years (Wink Wink)
Over a thousand dog-years ago at Mt Hood Community College in Gresham, Oregon, Lon Jones, Dale Jones, and Jeff Woodcock were studying music as a ruse to cover their real interests which were: chasing girls, partying, sleeping until noon, and putting off adulthood as long as possible.
Lon, Dale and Jeff, who had been playing music together since they were in grammar school, met Dan Pettis at that esteemed jazz school. Dan was, and still is, a kick-ass keyboard player. He took a liking to the boy's hot vocals and before you know it Dan was playing music with them too. Sadly, the group went by the horrendous name of Cock and Bull.
The Bull Manor Years
Later (or perhaps at about the same time; it's sort of blurry) the band was living rock and roll commune style in a big house in S.E. Portland which soon became known as "Bull Manor". (There were several other members of the group who also lived at The Manor, but we won't mention their names because they have reputations to protect.)
Many things happened there, some of which we can’t quite remember. The house, suffering under one of the most god-awful paint jobs, still stands, though few remember its glory days.
And Now?
Now these same boys are playing at various places around Portland, Oregon. Gainfully employed, more or less groomed, and in general, upright citizens. (See Mom, I knew we'd be OK.) At this point, the Bull Dozers are: Dale Jones, Lon Jones, Dan Pettis, Glenn Fernley, Jeff Woodcock, and Steve Shroy with guest appearances from Alan Mair, Peter Moss, Brad Elliot, et.al.
