I was in a ('fondly-remembered'?) band that was privileged to open for them at their last local (Boston) gig. I miss them terribly. Roger Miller --> now doing Birdsongs, solo and other projects Martin Swope --> Birdsongs Peter Prescott --> Volcano Suns Clint Conley --> producing records Dredd Foole and the Din Dan "Dredd" Ireton and an ever-changing bunch of musicians. Originally (ca. 1981?) backed up by MoB, now usually by Volcano Suns+friends (but not the guys on the record, whom I believe were the Moving Targets).
