SPECIAL
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
Sometimes
to the average ear a drummer is just a guy that sits back
there and keeps the beat. But to the subconscious ear, the
drummer's the one that will suddenly make you tap your toe,
or clap your hands. The beat and rhythm are the true foundation
of any musical piece, without wihcih it would falter, just
as a house with poor foundations would collapse. During TA's
absence from September until May, we have been blessed and
very fortunate to have had very talented drummers fill in
…not only were they great musicians but also exceptionally
nice people, who were a pleasure to be around and work with.
Show business attracts very temperamental people, just by
the very nature of what we do, so to have come up with eight
talented individuals who are also un-temperamental is almost
a miracle, and one for which we're very grateful. That's why
we feel it's only right to give them special individual acknowledgement,
and a chance to tell you a little bit about them. For the
sake of fairness, they're listed in alphabetical order. Once
again, our thanks to you guys …you have helped keep
the ball rolling for us and we feel very privileged to have
had the opportunity to meet you and work with you and welcome
to our family.
BOB
BACHA--- a native of Youngstown Ohio, Bob has been
working the northern Nevada circuit for many years. A respected
musician among his peers, Bob has a vast knowledge of all
musical styles, especially jazz, and among his credits he
was the musical director for the Lawrence Welk revival show
which performed in Reno a few years back.
CONRAD
CSOGI---A long-time Las Vegas favorite, Conrad is
also among the elite of local drummers. He has worked with
many production shows as well as lounge acts and big name
acts too numerous to mention. He is now currently working
on some new projects here in Las Vegas, so you'll be seeing
him around town quite frequently.
TOM
FEAR--- Another northern Nevadan, Tom is also a well-respected
and much sought-after player whom we had the opportunity to
play with on New Years Eve at the Riviera in Las Vegas. Tom
has also worked with big-name acts such as Freddie Fender,
and is now actively playing with long-time favorite Dane Rinehart.
ROB
HAZZARD---Stamford Conneticut's own Rob Hazzard only
recently moved out to Vegas, and he's been making quite a
splash ever since. He has been working the circuit quite steadily,
and we've had the pleasure of using him at one of our engagements
in Laughlin and at a private engagement. Rob also has a recording
studio with all of the state-of-the-art recording equipment.
CHUCK
ST.TROY---Although we only used Chuck one night,
he was a pleasure to work with and a true gentleman. A native
of Yonkers, NY (turns out keyboardist Oscar Dominguez and
Chuck knew some of the same players back east), Chuck heads
his own band called Saints & Sinners, and also runs a
very successful hair styling salon and spa in Las Vegas by
the same name.
MARK
SIDENER---Born in Kansas City, Mark has also been
quite a fixture in the Las Vegas circuit. He spent a year
with the succesful Vegas act Free Ride, and is now currently
working on a new project with the highly-talented singer Nikki
Logan. (Mark, we'll never forget those wild nights in Jackpot).
Mark is also a true gentleman and consumate professional,
and we'll miss his dry wit.
MARK
TWOHEY---The third of the northern Nevadans, Mark
is another elite and much sought-after drummer, and an excellent
vocalist. We had the pleasure of working with him in Council
Bluffs as well as Vegas and Reno. Mark spent a few years with
the recording act The Fortunes, famous for that 70's hit Here
Comes That Rainy Day Feeling Again, among many others. We're
grateful that Mark was able to take some time off from his
current band, Exposure, to come play with us. Mark, it was
truly a pleasure.
KEVIN
WATSON----Kevin not only added talent to the band,
but also a youthful, good-looking appearance. Kevin also worked
with the Fortunes, among other big name acts, and is now currently
working with the Krush, a band formed by long-time former
Glenn Williams Show guitarist Joe Quinlan.
