Thanks goes to the Derby Public Library staff for sharing interesting local history each week.
No sleepwalk down memory lane with these guys. Their radiant renditions and audience interaction are unsurpassed. Enjoy the solid groove and the upbeat, move-it-or-lose-it, ‘50s and ‘60s bandstand repertoire that has made each of them such talented, innovative, and celebrated performers. sh BOOM!
