The band was Mike (guitar/vocal), Barbara (vocal), Ernie (Ernestine) Columbo (vocal), Rich Benson (bass/vocal), Marty Laster (fiddle/vocal). Former members included Brett Newman (guitar/banjo/vocal) and Linda Kaplan (vocal). Occasional guest guitarists included Dave Shakin and Harold Magedson. | ||||

Our repertoire consisted of original songs by Mike, Ender, Steve and lyricist Meg Meltzer. | ||||
