Top-40 and standards band formed in 1983 by ex-Affinity members Mac Ford (guitar, saxes, flute) and Viki Ford (keys and keyboard bass), with Ann Downes (lead vocals).
The group was one of the first to use a drum machine for band gigs. Booked by Starleigh, the group was a regular on the Port Welcome.
Bass guitarist Darryl Matarozza joined in 1985 after Shor Patrol broke up. Eventually drummer Juan Vasquez (ex-After Six Combo, Annie Oakley) was added.

When this group broke up, Mac started recording original music, and Viki started singing and dancing on the Bay Lady dinner cruises in Baltimore. She worked with Cyrus Chestnut, Moe Daniels, Charlie Etzel, John Schaffer, Miles Bryant, and Tracy Eldridge. Viki eventually went back into the band circuit and joined The Westside.
