Tim Quance Tim plays drums and sings lead and background vocals. In Tim's own words; "About 1970 in Bellevue , Ne. (early high school years), started hanging with Bucky and feel Blessed to have shared countless musical and life adventures. Bandmates, college room mates, friends for life. Joint and seperate projects for over 45 years now, Yikes!! Bands along the way, Windsong, Straight, Mainstreet, Itchy Brother, McKenzie River Band, the SingSingSwing Orchestra, and more. Daddy Mac gives us a chance to feel that same thing in a group that got us all hooked when we were eighteen. To get the chance to do it with guys that have known each other that long is a stone groove. One wife, three kids, seven grandkids and Papa's still a Combo Rat!!" |
