FAQs:

WHO WAS MORDECHAI LINCOLN? Mordechai Lincoln II (1686 – 1736) was the great-great-grandfather of our 16th President. His homestead is not far from the band’s rehearsal space. (Mordechai is also Marty’s Hebrew name.) 

HOW DO YOU PRONOUNCE “MORDECHAI?” Basically, there are two tricky parts. The "ai" at the end is pronounced as a long "i," like "eye." The other tricky part is the "ch." Some of our Jewish, German, and Arabic listeners like to pronounce it as a hard "ch," as in "l'chaim." English speakers tend to avoid the phlegm-producing version, and prefer the “k” sound. Some avoid the whole issue and just call the band by the more familial, "Uncle Mordie." 

WHY ARE DRUMMERS ALWAYS LISTED LAST? It doesn’t matter. Only drummers care.
