Wheezetones

Band Bios:

JOHN BALLEW
John plays acoustic guitar, electric guitar, and harmonica. His performing past includes the band "Last Chance" and acoustic solo gigs at House of the Dragon. John's voice is tailor-made for songs by John Mellencamp, Bryan Adams and Bruce Springsteen.

John's daytime hours find him dodging through the legal intricacies of courtroom proceedings as a respected attorney.

John is totally to blame for this band. It was his idea and we're not about to let him forget it. He has helped create a situation that keeps some of us out of trouble and many of us IN trouble. Some of us keep him around just so we can borrow his inhaler.


PAUL BURNER
Paul plays six and twelve string acoustic guitars. Paul's band history includes FRAGILE: 1976-1978, solo ventures and BD Roads with Kevin Moore of Soul Dawg (early 80s).

Paul produces computer graphics, including web pages like this one, at his business, Slide Arts Graphic Design.

Look at the photos. Is that the same guy from years ago? There are many who - like the Beatles - think that Paul died and was secretly replaced by a Harley guy they found at a bar one night.


KEITH CORNELIUS
Some call him "Flash" others call him "Skeeter". Good taste prevents us from mentioning some of the other names he's been called.  His musical roots run from the Beatles to everything in between.  He logged many miles traveling with the "Dick Clark Caravans" "The Flippers" Bobby Vee, Bobby Goldsboro,
remnants of the "Rock & Roll Army", there's not enough room.  He's wanted to play with the "Wheezetones" for years.

One of the few straight guys that we know who buys his clothes from "International Male"


BOB CREAGER
Bob has played drums in bands with John (Last Chance)... and was a natural addition to the band. Over the years Bob's toy chest has grown from playing drums with straws on a table while watching the Wheezetones to owning a Roland electronic drum kit. He is now know as the midi activator - not the drummer.

Bob is an attorney in Lincoln.

We had to join AAA Nebraska so we could get maps of all the restaurants available during our travel gigs. You DON'T want to ever let Bob get too hungry - it's not a pretty sight.


DOUG DICKESON
Doug plays electric guitar and guitar synth. Doug has a long list in his performance history - Daddy Warbucks, Get High, Sirius and Double Take are a few. Doug has produced a CD of his original music entitled String Theory.

Doug's daytime hours are spent providing computer and video support for the local public school system.

Ask Doug what he thinks about people getting up on stage with us during a gig. Oh yes - if you smell incense at one of our gigs - that would be Doug - a part of him got lost back in the 60s and there are folks still looking for him.
