Tony and Larry           Larry was Uptown's unsung hero-he was our road manager and sound engineer until his recent move to Tennessee.
Bud is our current sound engineer.Not just anyone can handle a group this size,but he does it sooo well.

Robert and Tommy in the dressing room
Just some trivia----Robert sang with the Velours in his early days,but his next gig was the one best remembered.
Robert was with The Chips.Their song Rubber Biscuit was a
favorite back in the day,and was made popular once more in the movie,The Blues Brothers

We hope you enjoyed the pictures!!
