About Me

We're smacky, based in Cleveland, Ohio.
I (Jeff) work for a living (?), playing with the bands around
Northern Ohio, but recording these originals as smacky with the lovely
Laura Van was the bestest ever...
oh!... Smacky is:
Laura Van (South Bend, Indiana)- vocals, bass & guitar
Jeff Scarborough (Lansing, Michigan)- vocals & guitar
Don Krueger (Cleveland, Ohio) - on drums & vocals
Also on the smacky disc:
Drum trax by Cleveland great Billy Sullivan, and Nashville's best, Jimmy Clark
(no, not all at once, but that woulda been interesting).
And... trax by keyboard heroes Jim Madden and Rich Spina.
Many thanks and other usefull stuffs to those great musicians.
