Steve Rich and Bill Hanna on trombone were playing this gig back in
1997
for the Beaufort Italian-American Club. The duo had formed the group
on
the basis of using Steve's MIDI arrangement's until professional musicians
moved into the local area and joined the band. Dick Fithian joined
the
two and performed at the Beaufort Water Festival low country supper
as a prelude to Vince Vance's evening show that year. With the addition
of Rick Radcliff on Piano, Jim Roberson on drums and Jon Miller on
trombone, the MIDI arrangements were relegated to use for special occasions only.
