Guitarist Frank Queen, Drummer Roger Wolfe and standing, Singer-Musician Bill Strickland.
According to Pat Zill, Manager of the Boathouse, Bill Strickland was one of the few “Truly all-around Musicians” he ever met. Strickland and his Trio, which usually included Frank Queen and Roger Wolfe, played the Boathouse for so long – off and on for 20 years – that Bill was dubbed “The Mayor of Whitehall.” (DN)
