From Kevin Gregorius: Roosevelt Franklin also had a 2 or 3-song demo tape recorded before “Dining Out...”, before Shannon Dobson came on as Vocalsist. As I recall, John Wolcott (James' brother) was the original Vocalsist, who took a backseat and decided to produce and write the songs. Towards the end, John also ended up playing guitar in the band
