Jazzmonkie Posted January 23 Report Posted January 23 In the mid-80's we had a jazz club here run by musician Tom Weaver (Geronimo Black) and his wife. Once when talking to him about bands he knew he said that Elliot was babysitting their kids and watching the Wizard of Oz that evening. Quote

rostasi Posted January 23 Report Posted January 23 Tho he wasn't a member, I played some Mallard on the show last night. Wish they had put out more than a couple of albums. Quote
