Country / pop recording group consisting of Mark Schabdach (drums), Gene Geard (guitar), David Hooper (rhythm guitar), and Doug Anstine (bass). Their 1987 song “Welcome Home Jessica,” written by Hooper, was about the little girl ‘Baby Jessica’ McClure from Midland, Texas who fell into a well and the ensuing rescue that garnered worldwide media attention. Recordings were done at now defunct AGM Studio in Jarrettsville and featured studio piano work by future jazz great Cyrus Chestnut. The single received radio and television airplay.
