Randi Bennett, Jim Martin, and Randy Winkler AKA "Herman Winkleman".



We started out as a bar band in Lewiston Idaho, and ended up as a road band, traveling the north west, south west, west coast and Canada.  We played everything from top 40 country to top 40 rock. I left the band in about 1980 .  I know the band continued for most of the 80s, but im not quite sure who all the members were at that time.

I was lucky enough to have spent a summer (1981-or '82) as a "fill-in" drummer for Sunrise while my own band, "The Feds", were trying to find a new bass player.  At that time the line up was Randi Bennett, Jim Martin, and Randy Winkler AKA "Herman Winkleman".

What a fun and talented group of guys.  It was a real pleasure to do the weekend warrior attacks on Central Idaho with these guys. Good memories-Great guys. Thanks!
