Beek
Beek is still trying to figure out just exactly where music does indeed come from. He has been intrigued with musical sounds since before he was born. He took piano lessons back in the early sixties, but fell head-over-heels in love with the guitar in sixth grade. He took lessons during grade school and high school from some great teachers. Later he studied at the Wisconsin Conservatory of Music with John Stropes – the greatest guitar teacher. All throughout that time, he haunted garages with various incarnations of bands, and he has jammed with some really fine and cool musicians - The Camels and a great recorder player, and family members among them. He has also written jingles and some other fun little ditties. Working with Huns all these years continues to thrill Beek to no end.

Huns
Huns has been playing music since he was a wee lad. When he was in his teens, he started getting more serious about it, actually earning money playing with "The Free Society", no pun intended. You can probably guess what decade that was, by the name of the band. He went on to college, and promptly graduated early after a year, to join a local band called "Jake". Jake made its living by playing in small clubs and bars, but to his surprise and delight, Jake soon began recording an album of original tunes, "The Jake Album, Dedication". The vinyl version of this record can now fetch upwards of $600 from avid collectors in Japan. No kidding! After the demise of Jake, Huns played in a variety of musical configurations, from rock bands to solo acoustic. But when he finally hooked up with Beek, they both knew it was something special. Still is after all these years!
