They’ve been playing music all their lives and don’t have any intention of doing anything but play music.The second part of that letter: A road of dirt is still a road you can cover it with paint Make it somethin it ain’t And the road won’t let you sleep A little bit about the guys: Charles Gearheart: The original son of Goose Creek, Kentucky, hence the name. Charlie goes fishing. “Fishin’s my business, music’s my hobby.” But that doesn’t keep him from writing most of the band’s tunes, being the lead singer and playing a bit of acoustic guitar and trombone.Paul Howard Spradlin; Plays guitar, sings and writes songs (like “Rush on Love” the bn side of the band’s “hit” single “Mercedes Benz”.) Builds things with wood and starts most of the Goose poker games.Bob Hmhe 111: Plays guitar and keyboards. Even sings occasionally. Henke is the kind of guy who smiles at the strangest times and for the best reasons.Flyin’ Fred Weisz: Fiddler and singer. Fred’s been pickin’ and grinnin’ in bluegrass, jug and folk bands for a while, I guess you could call him a musician’smusician. He’s also one of the band’s gourmets.Jim Tolies: Fiddler, madolin and banjo picker. Singer too. An urban musician who found happiness in the Georgia swamps. When he and Fred aren’t working out fiddle parts they plan meals. Tolies will, with equal facility, recite Lord Buckly or the Sept. 12 dinner menu in the Grundy roadside diner.Pat “Frogmore” Moore: Thebass player who sings invisable harmonies. Froggie is a subversive, dedicated to having the best possible time under the worst possible circumstances.Chris Lockheed: The drummer who sings in spots. Chris is a west coast musician who came east. One day he might be the band’s sex symbol.Harold Erastus Williams, Jr. and Randell Bramlett: You got to know that the horn section, Harold and Randell are good ole boys from Athens, Georgia. Two of the first friends made by the band after its move to the sunny south. Both are well known local Georgia musicians and playing with Goose Creek Symphony hasn’t hurt them any.
