Diane and Mike are both retired US Navy Band musicians. Until recently we were members of the "Rhythm Rockets", a 50's band. Also, Diane leads her own jazz group, "Diane and the Jazztones". That group has appeared all over the Northwest including the Multnoma Athletic Club in Portland and "Tula's Jazz Club" in Seattle. Our musical experience in the Navy Band in Washington, DC and other Navy Fleet Bands included all genres of music from classical to top 40. The majority of our time was spent playing in cover bands (top 40) and jazz groups, large and small.
