Members included Barry Sless (pedal steel), John Thurston (bass), Rick Roche (guitar ex-Rising Sons), and Charlie Crane (drums). They could be seen at the Marble Bar.

In late 1978 Thurston, Roche and Crane formed the band Roadhouse Outlaws. Barry later moved out west and kicked around in California for a while and eventually returned to the Baltimore area. He then recruited former bandmate Charlie Crane to form the band Cowboy Jazz.

Rick also headed out west and went on to play in The Platters touring band. As of 2025 he is still active with several bands in the Long Beach, California area.

  “In Baltimore my best band was “No Foolin”. This was a great Baltimore band with its own style and sound, unlike the “copy” bands!  No Fish Today, on Eutaw St invited us to play at the “Goin’ Fishin’ Festival” in PA in 1978 and that was a great opportunity – the youngsters in the band got to hang out and observe professional acts which never hurts, right?  Miss those bandmates, especially Mr. Barry Sless, who currently tours with Moon Alice playing all over the place!”
