...retired railroad dispatcher. Pam Dane, a senior in high school, threw in with the geezers on alto sax, as did Pam's chum Diana Macumber, who blows a baritone saxophone. Corbin Wyant, publisher of the Naples Daily News, contributes on trombone, along with Jim Kalvin, a marina owner, Michael Isabella, an embroidery manufacturer, and Scott Wise, a salesman.

Dennis Hopper is to-the-core nasty as the vile drug-killer; he was better in Apocalypse, Now, but it's hard...
