1997
This page is dedicated to the memory of
Ed McCarthy



After the departure of John Villada (guitar) and original memeber, Greg Andree(trumpet) in 1997, the band was
joined by guitarist Brendan
O'Toole and Laz Carrairo on trumpet.
The second set
was still reserved for donning of the Stupid Hats!!!
The summer of '97' brought yet
more changes.
Bassist Dan Sousa took over where Ed
McCarthy left off and Jay Eberhard was promoted to soundtech. This was the
year WN went on their tour of Connecticut and
hosted Wed. nights at the Eagle.
