"Barking" Ralph Rosen, guest harmonica and percussion guru

The fabulous "Barking" Ralph Rosen from Boston, USA, has occasionally been hired, at huge expense, from the USA's top blues quartet The Bruce Katz Band. He first appeared with Foolish Behaviour at one of their practice sessions in The Black Boy in March 2003 and future appearances are rumoured. Lest anyone be misled, "Barking" does not refer to Ralph's vocal prowess or mental capacity but to a mistake of birth where his spirit was cruelly placed in a human body instead of that of a majestic hound. This may explain why he can often be found salivating heavily as he eyes up the lardy cakes in Winchester's "Reeve the Baker". Ralph normally mans the percussion engine room for Bruce Katz, but is also a virtuoso harmonica player. He takes occasional breaks from Bruce Katz Band percussion duties to rest a triple hernia injury brought on through repeated lifting of Hammond B3 organs.



 

Mac "Fingers" McIntosh, guitar

Mac was privileged to work with Foolish Behaviour for over 5 years until late 2005, but sometimes the rock 'n roll life just takes its toll and some poor souls can no longer stand the pace. This is even more understandable when you consider that Foolish Behaviour makes Spinal Tap look like a cute basket of cuddly kittens. After all, one can only drink so many cups of tea..... Mac has therefore decided to retire, although he hopes to occasionally be permitted to dust off his '54 Reissue Strat for special events.
