Great post. I played with this band for a short time while Eddie was recovering from surgery. Fine players all the way around.

That Taber can play piano!

[denniskevans]

Yes, he can. None of the others are slouches at their positions either. I love these guys. Obviously, we have worked well together. They got the concept of CTRI, on blind faith. All these years later, I still enjoy this.

Creative Television of Rhode Island "CTRI - 25 in 2008....Get ready to Celebrate" Would you guys be interested in doing a live videotaped benefit for us, down here in Newport? I'd like anyone that CTRI has presented in the past to be involved over a year-long period.

[adriennewest00]

I forwarded your question to the band members, my friend. Anything is possible, and they still rock hard like this...I've been having a blast singing with them as well! Ken's sons Josh and Justin Lyon are currently involved also - what GREAT music!

Thanks denniskevans.

Amazing. I remember them from the Bon Vue Inn in Narragansett during college days --- back in 1972/73 time frame. Are the band members still around?

[denniskevans]

This show is from May, 1990. I graduated from URI in 1982. I visited the Bon Vue a few times myself as an undergrad.... I don't remember who I saw. maybe Beaver Brown. I believe that each of these band members are still playing out in one form or another... and some have recorded CD's. These videos are part of CTRI R&D. We didn't know what we could accomplish... but we tried anyway...and these guys trusted us. We're about to do it again.

I too saw Tombstone at the Bon Vue many times, a fantastic band with 2 great guitarists, one Mark DiC... and an album on Columbia with cocaine censored into Loraine.

[mzarum]

When was this?

It has Mark Taber on Keyboards!

[denniskevans]

This is indeed, Mark Taber on keyboards. I love these guys...all extremely talented musicians. CTRI recorded this in Providence,RI "maybe" May, 1990. I'll go to my files for the exact date, and get back to you.
