Hank is the band “Guru” - coined from his grooving style, he knows his music.
Able to handle most any style, his versatility and talent is unquestioned (by
the band members anyway)! And he’s been around the block. Harmonica, Keys, Patch
changes – it’s all part of this Yesman’s repertoire.
When it comes to performing Hank is ready and willing at a moment’s notice. Has van and will travel. The icing on this band’s cake!
Hank’s primary hobby is sitting around thinking about how much the band sucks, and how he got himself in this situation (just because they needed a keyboard player!).
In an effort to also conceal his age, Hank quite often recounts his first musical experience as a zygote- that is, a two celled organism- during which period he fashioned a primitive keyboard instrument from strands of DNA and jammed until the wee hours before being voluntarily induced into early childhood. Piano lessons followed, which he quit because the teacher would not put Bach aside to concentrate on the theme from Batman. From there, fusion, disco, top 40, wedding band, this band……… oh what the hell, my life sucks as a member of the Yesmen.
