A blue collar worker sees the girl of his dreams and sets about to find her. With a heavy beat and great use of drums and power chords singer Bob Dannewitz delivers the goods with a big vocal sound. Guitarist Hank Rusch not to be outdone, knocks out a scorching guitar solo with sensual tremolo bar bends which moan and scream.

Desiree

Oh Yeah!

A high powered rocker about singer Bob Dannewitz's weekend in the Pinal county jail. Big drums, a steady driving bass, great chorus, and guitarist Hank Rusch's searing solo resembles the sound of a prison yard siren warning of a break in progress.

Waitin To See The Judge

The signature song from our album of the same name Desiree. A barn burning rocker that gets you going from start to finish. The stage is set when a beautiful mystery woman beguiles this small town with her looks and style creating speculation and wonder.
