About Me

Ho! Welcome to the Viper MySpace page! It's a tribute to the best band to never make it out of the tiny village of Fairhope... Viper! Viper was my band way back in the day... and rumors of a reunion are ALWAYS surfacing. OK, a reunion isn't possible. Frank passed away in 1989 and Wes now lives in Atlanta Georgia. (He tells me that he hasn't picked up a guitar in years... come on Wes, go find another Roy Smeck!!) But I'm ready to reform the band... I can dream.Anyway, I'll post photos and info on Viper and all the associated fringe bands here. I doubt that anyone will remember the band or our music... we didn't make much of an impact in the music world. But to us, Viper was one of the greatest things to ever happen to us.In it's finest form, Viper was: Clint Rhodes: Vocals; Mike Baker: Guitar; Wes Wargo: Guitar and Bass; Frank Zadrozny: Drums.Thanks for dropping in. Catch you soon.Mike.
