"This is what
God intended when he created rock ‘n’ roll."

 The Good Humor
Band was a Virginia institution. Okay, so was Eastern State
Hospital, but to the best of our knowledge none of the band was
ever institutionalized there. For nine years they tore up bars
along the East Coast, both figuratively and literally. We can
say that now since the statute of limitations has run out. We
hope.
Some 24 people
played in the band at one time or another, with Mike McAdam
being the one person who was there in the beginning and at the
end. That says a lot about him, though it's scary to think what
that might be. Members are scattered across the country (as well
as playing in that Great Rock 'n' Roll Band in The Sky) though
they're centered around Nashville, where they've gone on to
record and tour with some of music's greatest. Yup, there's a
list at the bottom of this page if you're interested.
Now they have a
CD out. And this Web site. Who ever would have thought the
Sunday Night Drunk Club in Sam Miller's Exchange Cafe would come
to this?
