In Memory of

Ron Liley
Ron was killed in auto accident in the Summer of 1971 after high school graduation

In 1970 - 1971 I managed The Crome Syrcus, Springfield Rifle, Bluebird, Chinook, before I went back into radio.

Steve Montgomery, March 2011

This is not the take photo we used in the session;  Steve Rick was truly the band's most gifted musical artist.  Unfortunately he was so gifted musically it was too simple for him and never had a musical dream to chase.

Kid Blast was only a recording contract, marketing name change, which never developed past the contract.

Scott Jonas, January 2009
