"The Strolling Dudes" were a couple of other musicans, along with Bruce that played during and after the "Life as We Know It " tour.. nothing more or less. Your part1 is correct ! The rest was not aired on "Behind the Music" that I believe you are quoting from, but from the usaul Cronin bloggers wanting to bash him. Hey, good chat... and "Roll with the Changes.."

part4:"In the meantime, Gary was intent to carry on the REO tradition and assembled the remaining members of REO -- keyboardist Neal Doughty, bassist Bruce Hall and drummer Graham Lear, along with new lead singer, Michael Jahnz. However, Richrath's efforts were thwarted when Cronin employed a number of financial threats, intimidations and legal maneuverings to return to the band."
These are all documented facts. It doesn't matter now anyways. I can relieve the real REO on youtube.

part3: "However, when Geffen's contract with Warner Brothers Records expired and Geffen unexpectedly sold out to Universal Music Group, Cronin's hoped-for recording contract never materialized, the "Dudes" disbanded, and KC appeared to be at a dead-end, career-wise, to market his funky new jazz sound."

Part2: "At the time, Kevin intended to pursue a separate solo career featuring his acoustic style. He had been playing small night clubs in L.A. and dabbling in a group he called the "Strolling Dudes" which featured jazz trumpet player Rick Braun (co-author of "Here With Me" from REO's 1988 "The Hits" album). At the time, Cronin was dating (and subsequently married) a Geffen Records executive, and thought he'd scored the fast track to a new recording contract."

The saga continues. Taken from behind the scenes of REO Part 1: "In 1989, shortly after the departure of longtime REO drummer Alan Gratzer, both Gary and REO lead singer Kevin Cronin decided to split, citing irreconcilable differences in songwriting styles and the inability to form a consensus about what type of songs should appear on future REO albums.

Kevin never left, I have pictures of he and Bruce, Neal Doughty, and Graham Lear and Miles Jospeh (lead guitar) playing in a club in LA as REO Speedwagon. Months after Gary left the band. Kevin never went solo, in 1989 as you posted. Gary could not stay clean, after the Hits tour, and that is when he was cut loose. He was even showing up not sober during the recording of Life as We Know It. A year after the band was trying to get clean, encluding Bruce, Kevin, and even Neal....

Exactly right, and if Gary had not blocked Gary/REO from going forward Michael would have been the new REO singer. When Gary finally settled with Kevin he went forward with Michael.
Gary never wanted to leave REO. He started that band. It was either split with Kevin or be in court for 10 yrs.
