Len and Garry (along with drummer Gordy Myers) started playing jazz together in 1980 as charter members of the "Lazy River" Dixieland band - long since defunct. Garry, Gordy, and pianist Bill Johnson are also members of the "Pig's Eye Traditional Jass Band," the oldest continuously active group of this genre in the Twin Cities. Garry's solid strumming earns him the unofficial title of " the strong arm of the rhythm section."
Garry is a forensic pathologist and lawyer who served as Hennepin County Medical Examiner until his retirement.
