*Fan review on Lost Turntable
David says: I remember the 101 club from back in the early 80’s. I saw a band there named “Masked Orchestra” who I thought were quite remarkable. They, along with thousands of others, never quite made it but great none the less. I often wondered what happened to those guys.

The Masked Orchestra founder Kevin McCrea is still involved in music.  He plays guitar & keyboard and uses digital technology.
