Their half-Mexican, banjo-playing light man "Flickin' Dickin"

...but then one gig the drummer drank too much & that band was finished.
Corey lives in Alberta, he drums occasionally.
David had been performing in the US & Canada until 2004.
Flickin' Dicken is making big bucks doing oilfield work in various
long-named foreign countries. He has not flicked lights since 1989.
