Jim Cook was a student at San Bernardino Valley College, and his Cousin, Ray Cook was a professor at that same collrge. Taylor McKInnon was an instructor at the college also,and their mutual love for country music resulted in the formayion og the bandHave you performed in front of an audience?We play dance halls in San Bernardino and Veterans clubs such as the VFW and American Legion as well as clubs such as tghe "silvwer spur on 9th street. San Bernardino.
Your musical influences
The greatest country artist in my opinion is Merle Haggared, whose band and songing voice are reported on in major music media,even outside the country genre.What equipment do you use?
I tse the simplist equipment which will do the job. No fuzz foolishness. Fender bassman amps, and two marshall 4 by 12 cabinets No foolishness,just music. We do music, will not destroy a guitar to please the teen agers. MusicAnything else?
Real country music, warts and all. Danceable,rythmic, melodic, beer drinking honkeytonk stuff, no vulgarity!WHO'S GONNA FILL THEIR SHOES
