He''s performed with Nat King Cole, Tommy Dorsey, Ella Fitzgerald, Dizzy Gillespie, Duke ellington, and Glenn Miller...he declined playing backup for an unknown guitar player from Tupelo, Mississippi; named Elvis Presley. Going on Eighty in August he is the most energetic musician I''ve ever known...Leo''s mantra,"I miss one day of practice I know it, two days the orchestra knows it, three days the audience knows it!" It is this kind of work ethic I''ve tried to model myself after.

*Leo Holzer, born 1958 U.S.A. (I Richard Zadworny refer to him as the kid thats been following me around for over thirty years telling me,"your crazy and this song needs more work.") Leo is an accomplished composer/musician.

Now bassist Reva L Sheva Adam is a master bassist and an accomplished composer/musician and Rock in Roll Star in Europe and Israel these days.
*Steven Zadworny, born 1952 U.S.A. My first memories of my brother Steven, was watching him and my sister play their accordians on my father''s television show ( our father one of the original "New Jersey Harmonicats") in Austin, Minnesota. They never made a mistake though at times I could see how upset they were with each other--good old sibling rivalry. Steve is a master of any instrument he picks up, a perfectionist if I ever saw one. If I listed my musical influences he would be on top of the list. Military: March 1971 - March 1974; served in Korea February 1972 - April 1973. AWARDS: Korean Exeditionary Medal, National Defense Medal, Oakleaf Clusters. Radioman.
*Richard Zadworny, born 1955 U.S.A. First gig summer of 1967 Papa Lester Polfus a.k.a. Les Paul replaced chromatic harmonicist for three weeks his regular man was ill. Started singing lead vocals and playing blues and chromatic harmonica with blues/jazz/rock bands 1968 - 1975.

In the spring of 1979 after playing an imprompted outdoor concert with Jerome Garcia and other local Bay area musicians at Berkeley Campus turned Jerry Garcia down to start a band (I intended to finish my service at the time he wanted to start a bluegrass type band, immediately, which eventually evolved into "Old and in the way".)While attached to the U.S.S. Coral Sea CV-43 home ported in Alameda I would play Chromatic and blues harmonica for Willie Dixon who would introduce me as "Sailor the reincarnation of Little Walter", I had done studio work and gigs for him in Chicago in the early "60''s",he was my mentor and told me to write music about what I knew and from the heart and you could never go wrong. In 1980 Leo Holzer came out to Oakland, California where I was honorably discharged and told me to come home and write music for Clem Morgan. I never got to play music with my old roommate "Buzzy" William Charles Linhart but I do cite him for saving my life. The V.A. had given me a drug I was allergic to..."Buzzy" kept me from going into shock and induced vomiting.
