vocals
kazoo
harmonica

As far as K.B. knows, he's the world's only 3-fingered, left-handed, lead guitar player. (That's 8 fingers total, instead of 10, but he is actually right handed and has to play left handed !!) He was born with the three fingers on his left hand and has many funny anecdotal stories to tell about his "disablity" ...like the shark attack or the magic trick story.

He also is a Fender Musical Instruments Technician (Qualified to build Custom Shop Guitars for Fender and modify any guitar). Not only does he love playing and building guitars, but he shares his knowledge by teaching guitar and bass (please contact him for lessons). He recently was bestowed with the C.E.C. Cleveland Icon Award for teacher of the year.

K.B. also enjoys being underwater scuba diving (he is a fully certified Master Diver/ EFR Rescue Diver), burning up the floor tango dancing, jumping waves jet skiing and adventure travel to far away places like Machu Picchu in Peru or Ankor Wat in Cambodia.

Those nasty kids that made fun of him (and his freek hand) way back in school sure are eating their words and laughter now !!
