The founder, and other original

this band for some time. It took the
passing of a good friend, Jerry Shaw,
who was 55 at the time, to convince
Phil to get the group started, which he
did in 1998. Phil plays bass and
handles the bookings and business
details, and struggles to understand
websites. By day, he's a partner in an
engineering firm and is active in the
Decatur community.
