Wow. 5 years and month since I last posted in this thread.

I felt it was best to post this news on this particular thread,even though it is cetainly not happy news.

Greg Ham,who played sax,clarient & keyboard (and other instruments) for the 80s Australian band,was found deceased in his home this morning by some close friends. Greg was 58.
The police in Australia are also checking for possible foul play.

Greg,the grinning faced,comedian and mulit-instrumentalist of the band,is most reconizable on record for his solo's. The sax solo on "Who Can It Be Now?" (1982) His flute on "Down Under" His clarient solo on "Overkill" and his running-like keyboard playing on "Be Good Johnny" and his overall contributions to the band.

In their videos,Greg was the clown and/or comdian. In the video for their last hit "Dr. Heckyll & Mr. Jive",Greg played a Jerry Lewis type ala "The Nutty Professor".

I had the great fortune to see the band live in 1983 at age 15. They were as grat in concert as they were on record. When I first heard the band on the radio,I found their sound to be quite progreessive and new for the time.

RIP Greg you gave your all to a band that deserved an even longer success.
