Smokey has been with the band since its early days, joining the second incarnation that also featured Rocky on drums, Bernie on keyboards and Izzy on bass & vocals. Bluey rejoined this linep a month or two after Smokey came on board, and Rudy joined on sax a little after that. Smokey was replaced by Rory some years later, but rejoined the band at the beginning of the "Boys Are Back In Town" dates.
