Buddy Dukes
 Hailing
from Orangeburg, South Carolina's Barbecue Capital, Buddy and Henry
have played together since before Clinton's second term. After
stints in both the University of Georgia Marching Band and Jazz
Band, Buddy retired from music only to be dragged out of early
retirement by a beleaguered
Major Nelson
in June, 1995. The computer programmer and Huntersville resident has
consistently provided spot-on harmonies and tight drumming, as well
as arrangements tighter than his snare drum head. At present, Buddy
provides the underpinning for the band's unique sound and
songwriting style.
Jeff Dunegan
Jeff found himself in
the late-great
World Class
Fad
as a draftee in early 2000 and has repeatedly provided the pulse to
all of the tunes recorded and played by the group. A consummate
Britney Spears and Nirvana fan (do they go together???). Jeff has
shed his metallic roots to become one of the tightest and solid bass
players in the Southeast (or at least Union County). His calm
attitude only accentuates the musicality of his bass lines first
heard on
World Class
Fad's
So To Speak in early 2001. He also has the best
bachelor pad in Charlotte (invitation only).
Henry Pharr
If nothing
else, Henry wins the award for putting up with the many quirks of
the group. Henry founded
Major Nelson
waaaay back in 1993, before Jeff was out of junior high. Playing
guitar, writing and singing keep this lawyer-by-day from causing too
much trouble. Along with his aching knees and aging back. Henry
writes most of the band's songs and sings as well, allowing the rest
of the group to point at him when a bad review surfaces. |
