Augie recalled prior Kevin's problems with Laduska, and recruited local musical prodigy Mark Loperfido to the band.
"Mark was a kid that worked at a local coffee houses, Twiggs." Augie explains, "I had loaned him one of my spare bass guitars months earlier for him to learn on. I had no idea he would become the bassist in my band. He learned super fast. We already had gig's booked, and he had to learn the material in two weeks."
