George Potor and Joe DeCristopher both were raised in New Jersey in the 1950's and 60's, and schooled and settled in Pennsylvania, but they didn't meet until late 1979. Though they played occasionally as a duo, their first excursion as a band was with the ppits, a motley crew of seven (and sometimes more), full of political irreverence and fun. The ppits morphed into a quintet, Veto and the Hitmen, which like the ppits, performed twice on WVIA's Homegrown Music with a bundle of original tunes, mostly by George, by George. Over the last few years, George and Joe, with Rick Totten, formed Good Without One, the drummerless rock trio fueled by the retrograde administration of Cheney and W, spawning such gems as "Less Scratch, More Itch", "The Ballad of W, M.D. (Ducking Like a Quack)", "Above the Law", "Things Could Get Worse", and "The Gitmo Swing." The winds of change continue to blow, and George and Joe continue to collaborate, sometimes as a duo, sometimes with the help of others. Happily, Fred Strickland has come onboard with his 5-string bass, vocals & songwriting. They look forward to introducing new tunes, some political (George's "Low Infaux Voter", Joe's "Subprime Blues" and Fred's "Fox U"), some not, like the rocking "Inis Mor", named for the island off the coast of Ireland that George visited in the summer of 2008.

Story behind the song
What if your state lost a governor?
Lyrics
What if your state lost a governor in the wilds of Argentine? When your Houses passed a law, there'd be no one there to sign. Foul play might be suspected, but perhaps he was playin' just fine. What if your state lost a governor to the wiles of Argentine? 'Twas an event most queer: the governor disappeared From South Carolina, God-fearing South Carolina! Was it kidnapping or capture? Or a case of early rapture? No, it seems the gov had met a love and went running off to catch her! What if your state lost a governor to a quest for true romance? Before you criticize, take a walk in Sanford's pants. He didn't break family values 'cause his wife had told him, "Good riddance!" What if your state lost a governor in a case of blue romance? In these dire financial times, when everyone's pinching dimes, It's a governor's mission to provide his state relief from Our economic wreckage...that was the point of Sanford's emissage! Well, you must concede he did succeed In bringing home a stimulus package! What if your state lost a governor to a wild weekend party With an exotic and delicious South American Hottie? Would you be morally outraged, Or just jealous you couldn't be that naughty? What if your state lost a governor to a South American Hottie I don't know why you're getting so distressed It's just a simple case of man and his mistress A dollar is a dollar and a dime is a dime We'd sing another chorus but we're off to Argentine to find a South American Hottie.
