Summary
This is the crazy story of some very typical, ornery high school baseball players in the '80's that found crazy success playing ball. And we had a teammate, Curt Whitaker that could sing and play guitar and we never knew it. When he decided, "why not?," he started KC's best cover band. The www.m80skc.com have played with Chicago, Train and others at Starlight and almost everyone that played at Knuckleheads as the totally fun 80's band. They dress the part and it's always a fun night out. Curt was a very talented pitcher that played in college and independent pro ball until his shoulder gave out. He worked, like the rest of us, and one day in his thirties he had an idea. This is a great convo about why the hell not pursue your American Dream.
