Vinny lived a full life and he was a very happy dog even if he slobbered and drooled a bit at times. It was a sad day when Vinny passed on, but now his spirit has come back to chauffeur the band in a green '62 Caddy convertible. With Vinny at the wheel, goggles and flier's cap in place over his large German shepherd snout and ears, a long red scarf flapping behind him in the wind, the entire universe is ready to be explored. This is truly Vinny's last ride!

Vinny lived a full life and he was a very happy dog even if he slobbered and drooled a bit at times. It was a sad day when Vinny passed on, but now his spirit has come back to chauffeur the band in a green '62 Caddy convertible. With Vinny at the wheel, goggles and flier's cap in place over his large German shepherd snout and ears, a long red scarf flapping behind him in the wind, the entire universe is ready to be explored. This is truly Vinny's last ride!
The band, Sean "Julio" Vance, Byron Gunderson, Dave Curry and Leon Portelance, started playing rock-n-roll together in high school in the late 1960s. There have been many names, reincarnations and lineups over the years: Blue Jay, Omega, Julio & The Howlers, The Mad, and long periods of silence, but now they have reunited for the adventure of a lifetime. Lead the way, Vinny!
