There's the joke - "What do you call a drummer with no girlfriend?...Homeless." Sadly, there's a thin reality to that. Often overlooked and underappreciated.

As we dug deep into the FWCRS Vault, this was the first episode of the permanent trio. As Kennedy and Wheeler were performing pilot episodes, they found solitude in the Dr. Clarke. Who has embarked on this forever journey and this was the birth of the 3 Amigos... Kennedy, Wheeler, & Dr. Clarke
