PAUL KINGERY

 

 

 

   Paul joined the band as bass player and principal backing vocalist in 1996. A great talent on many levels. He's very familiar with the music, having played guitar with the band in two different time periods (82 - 83 and 85 - 88).

   In reference to this online book, Paul semi-jokingly asked me to be careful with my humor at his expense. Smart guy! Understood. He did send me a copy of his resume so I will just let it go at that. I should add that it's mighty impressive. Have a look.
