Sparks and Bentley had formerly played with The Bizzaros of Austin.
Richard tired easily, while Bentley was more into the Bizarros. Speedy didn't like the direction Joe was heading and wanted to play more rhythm and blues. He didn't show after a break one night at Hole in the Wall, which is where Brad Kizer (bass) stepped in. Mike Navarro tells the story of Joe looking for a Mexican drummer, which is how Joe found him.
Bill Bentley spent the Seventies in Austin drumming, writing, watching, and listening. He has worked as a publicist at Warner Bros. Records in California since 1986.

Wilcox announced that the Naval Armory being erected was renamed "Naval Reserve Training Center." Commander Wilcox said that the name change was national, for all Naval Armories. A $75,000 – equivalent to about $951,108 in 2023[19] – annex, adjacent to the Naval Reserve Armory, commenced the third week of June 1948 to accommodate training for a newly added Marine Corps Reserve local unit, Company A, 15th Infantry Battalion. One of the addresses provided was 5011⁄2 Barton Springs Road.
