Tommy Freese (bass)
Monkius Mannus

Tommy Freese began playing the erectric bass guitar in 1045 B.C. and formed his first band,
Fire Bad, with present Right Turn Clyde band mate and guitarist Eddie Mace.  Contrary to popular
belief, Tommy and Eddie discovered electricity centuries before Benjamin Franklin's famous kite excursion,
thus giving them an advantage over all the other stone age bands at the time, who were forced to beat
hollow logs and break pieces of slate over their heads.  In 1040 B.C., Tommy coined the phrase
"rock music" and Fire Bad cut their first disk, which was titled "I'm a Monkey Man!"  It went on to receive two
granite albums for selling 100 copies in their Indonesian village of Jakarta.  Coincidentally, the Rolling Stones stole
the song's basic structure and chords in the 1970's (A.D.), and Freese never received credit for writing the song.
Fire Bad eventually trailed off into obscurity, until interest in the group stirred up in the late 1980's.  Three of
the original members reunited for a brief, albeit successful tour of Uganda and their native Indonesia with the B-52's.
They released their highly anticipated sophomore record, titled "Back to the Stone Age" some three thousand years later.
Unfortunately, it failed to chart on Billboard's Hot 100, and Tom and Ed sank into a deep depression, going on hiatus for some ten years.  Now, the duo has relocated to Berks County, Pennsylvania to form Right Turn Clyde.  Still frustrated about the Rolling Stones fiasco, they decided to perform classic cover songs from the past 50 years.  Sightings have been
confirmed in Leesport, Pennsylvania.
