This band had it all... great vocals, stinging blues guitar, and a rhythm section that was, and still is, among the best in the business.All four members are currently at the top of their games in the Pacific Northwest blues circuit. John (vocals), Tom (guitar), and Howard (bass), all won Washington Blues Society "best of" awards in 2003. Les Merrihew continues to be one of the most sought after blues drummers in the area. The band released a much heralded, but limited in quantity, cassette tape in 1988, 'Mechanic On Duty", that featured several band original songs, some of which are available on a compilation cd, "T-Boy's Blues:1987-2002", released by Tom Boyle in 2003.
