Fluid????

Dave Karasony and Bill Heller have been in the band since 2000.

Scott Breadman played percussion until the 2006 Reunion Tour - Steve Reid returned. Last year, Russ decided to try and give it a go without percussion.

The sax chair has been shared by Jeff, Eric and PT - and again, that started with the 2006 Reunion Tour.

OK. I think you just made my argument for me. It's just my opinion.

I've always looked at all Rippington's releases as "Russ Freeman Projects." The guy writes great music and always has solid support guys for the material.

Yeah, I didn't mean it in a bad way. I've been following The Rippingtons for 20 years and it's no secret that there have been numerous lineup changes. Things happen.

Kat,

Bill Lanphier was the original bassist, it says so on the Rippingtons' timeline.

Signed,

I realize that....Thanks Eric.

I just can't remember him touring.... because I never saw him. That's why I started my list in 1987... even though Moonlighting came out earlier.

But maybe someone from the early gigs remembers...

There were lots of people who recorded.... all along the way.

I was trying to pull together a list of the touring band.
