In what may have been the night life miracle of 2008, the world famous "Ball Peen Hammer" disco (East 62nd Street, adjacent to the Knickerbocker Club) splashed full page ads introducing its pick for its New Year's Eve extravaganza. "Hammer" chose "Rockin' Potatoes" from an impressive list of 59 bands applying for the opening night privilege.In its resume, "Potatoes" boasted about the band's dominance in McHenry County, Illinois' razor sharp nightlife music scene. Spokesman "TicTic" Turskey described their experience this way: "We strutted through every swingin' door from Algonquin to Lake Geneva, and we smashed every galvanized garbage can in the alleys east of Woodstock. Turskey compared the "Rockin' Potatoes" to the "Whistlin' White Bullet" Metra express on the Northwest Line: unstoppable and on perfect time.
Rockin' Potatoes' lead xylophone player, "ZeeZee" Clark and percussionist "G-Force" Gambrill both are coming off successful seasons playing backups for internationally known singers like Snipe Hunter and Verdi Verdugo, both of Gas Plaines, Texas. Potatoes' financial wizard (and 24 string lead guitar player) J. A. "Foursquare" Clark is the group's money genius. J. A. has invested gig proceeds wisely during the Potatoes' successful history, and he claims the group is ready for its New York debut. "If some New York hole in the wall won't hire us, we'll buy the joint", Clark joked.

Hey, aren't these the guys who sang "Where did the Muffler Man go?". I like their harmony.
How does Foursquare play that 24 string guitar? Does he have an assistant whippin' the frets?
Google me.
