I've known for sometime that Ron,( The bass player that did the harmony with the possum for years)had moved on. Does anyone know why he left? Other than he just wanted to do some things on his own?? Thanks.

Maybe he couldn't harmonize with poor old George anymore?

I asked the same question in another forum a few years back. The answer was, that Ron Gaddis, just like his former boss, had problems with alcohol. By the way, he has a fine album out on his own "Chip Off the Old Block" -
