ABOUT

Started a band in Memphis, "The Pokermen" back in 1965. We played almost every weekend from early '65 until late summer in 1970. We graduated from high school and were moving on. I did not play for the next 30 years due to 1 1/2 years of college, then Military Service, then raising a family and working a 40 hr.per week job. Back in 1999, Neil Heinz, original founder of this group and owner of Neil's Bar & Grill in Memphis contacted a bunch of us and we started having "re-union" gigs at his club. This went on 3 or 4 times a year until I retired and moved to Darden, TN this past year.
