We are on drummer #6 and bass player #5, but otherwise Kurt, Jim and Scott remain as "original equipment". There have been a number of incarnations of the band. So we started practicing in Kevin's basement in Royal Oak until we had our first gig. We all got up and didn't completely suck. This idea was cemented at Jim's Bachelor party where he had set up instruments so anyone could jam. Sure enough, we were not a bowling team, we were a band. We all turned to Paul, the IT master at 89X. Jim says "I play Guitar", Scott says "I played Keyboards in a band in High School", Kevin Yonker (Drummer #1) announced "I Play The Drums". There was Karaoke at the bar and we noticed that Kurt was a pretty good singer. So one night after bowling the 5 members of the team gathered as we usually did and sat at the bowling alley bar bemoaning the fact we had just wasted another 12 bucks a piece. Free Beer began from the ashes of the 89X bowling Team.
