The Highlanders Orchestra: Bud Ault (trumpet), Ernie Szali (drums), Wayne Warren (sax and clarinet),

(1974). I played with this dance band from 1972 to 1982. We played every Saturday
at the Riverview Wyandotte Moose on Quarry Road in Riverview, Michigan.
On Fridays and Sundays, we played as a three-piece band at weddings, clubs, bars, and parties.

The Knight Kats: Tom Brown, using three new keyboards from 1982-1997: an electric piano,
Hammond organ, and Roland RS09 synthesizer (string-machine), Tom DeMartin (drums and
vocals). Jim Stefan (guitar and vocals), (2006) I had to stop playing my Sanovox accordion/
organ so we could now play music of the 1980s which required a different sound, and because
our band had to stay up-to-date to be hired for weddings, anniversaries, bars, and parties.

The Knight Kats: Tom Brown (MIDI accordion), Jim Stefan (guitar and vocals),
Tim Cartwright (guitar and vocals) and Tom DeMartin (percussion and vocals).
Party for Tom's son Michael, who just got back home from serving in Afghanistan in 2009.
I replaced my three keyboards with a MIDI accordion which had hundreds of great sounds.
