We came up with a name: Matt and tha Katz
We are:
Ron Holtegrewe: Bass
Don Windham: Drums
Dino Recla: Guitar
Bob Kennedy: Guitar
Matt "tha Kat" Lentz: Guitar/Bass VI
A little history on the name:
Back in 1995, Johnny Bartlett gave me my nick-name, Matt "tha Kat" and insisted on it being spelled that way. So, technically, I think we need to give Johnny the credit for it.

I'm a big fan of your work with the Coconauts and I was bummed to see it come to an end. Anyhow, I am really looking forward to your new project. Come to PA on your next world tour!

You all are too kind and thanks for the nice words! I'm a hack, I admit. But I'm very happy you like my hack-jobs. 
We're actually doing a few GASP vocals with this project. I'm ducking, so swing away!!!

Nothing wrong with that! I listen to the Beach Boys and Jan & Dean just about every day. Are you doing the singing, Matt?

Yes, I am. We're doing a couple of my originals and then an old country tune.

I sincerely wish you guys well. It can be tough to find good Twang in this desert of ours. Don't be strangers. Let's do an event together sometime.
