Somewhere way down on the Muskegon River in the heart of Big Rapids country (below the ring finger on the "heartline" of your Michigan hand) lives a rare creature known as the Ultraviolet Hippopotomus. Besides wallowing in the muck to stay cool (don't we all from time to time) this radiating river cow has been known to make unusual sounds that can only be appreciated by dedicated music freaks - particularly those near Ferris State University. Some say it sounds like rock. Some say it's more like jazz. Still others report electronica, reggae and even bluegrass emanating from the massive orifice of this unpredictable menace. The only way to know for sure is to check them out at a venue near you. - Mitch Murphy - Focus Productions
I've been thinking about that strange name. After hearing them, I realize ultraviolet isn't a color... it's a wavelength. As for the hippopotamus... enjoy the ride." -Bill Beckwith 100.9 FM Big Rapids, Michigan.
