I recall a double-bill in a Georgetown, DC club with Commander Cody and Kaleidoscope (I think). Jon Eberhart went backstage to introduce himself between sets, and ended up on piano for the second set. I went because I was a Kaleidoscope fan, but came away a fan of both bands. I have a couple of their LPs, if I can still find 'em (don't ask about the condition of the room with the LPs in it -- it also has my other instruments when they're not being used, so getting to the shelves of LPs is not an easy task), but didn't follow them as much as I did some other groups.

And Bill Kirchner is a gentleman of the first water, for true. He ran an open mike at a local club, and put up with a lot of people I wouldn't have, including me.
