A beautiful songbird, "Z" is much sought after for church and stage performances.  Besides her incredible vocal range, she is an incredibly good person -- though with questionable taste, as she is married to Mike Morris.  A native of Alexandria, Zelma is den mother to the band. She has been featured in dozens of TV commercials.

MIKE MORRIS
 
Lead singer and master showman for the band is Mike Morris, who operates MORRIS FURNITURE STORE in Many, Louisiana.  A veteran of numerous big-time recording sessions in the 60's, Mike has seen it all.  His voice just keeps getting better and better.  He is also an avid fisherman and an accomplished cook.  He asked that we put in this space that he has recliners on special this week.

A Natchitoches native, Ken now resides in Shreveport, Louisiana.  "KC" is the third strong vocalist in the band. Kenny consistently rates in the top 5 of all Shreveport-Bossier musicians in SB magazine's poll of its readership. Kenny puts the BLUES in the rhythm and blues!
