and the follow up, Second Opinion. The “Doctors” toured extensively across the United States in support of these recorded works and opened for several noteworthy bands of that era, including the Clash, Hall & Oates, the Cars, Cyndi Lauper, Rainbow, Pat Travers, and Jim Carroll (who was also the author of the popular novel The Basketball Diaries). The Doctors were reviewed quite favorably by critics and fans alike for both their recorded works, and for their live performances. They achieved modest success, and disbanded in 1984.

RICHARD BAUMAN enjoys writing about little known nuggets of history, lesser-known historical sites, and places worth visiting. When he visits places of interest he also photographs them. He’s a history sleuth and always on the lookout for photo opportunities. One of his goals is to weave obscure and commonly known information together into captivating stories. He reads a lot, travels a lot, and takes more pictures than he’ll ever use. He and his wife, Donna, have been married fifty-five years, have two grown children, four grandsons, and one great-grandson. Bauman’s latest book is Pranks in Print—A Collection of Fake Stories, Phony Ads, and other Media Mischief. Learn more about his work at

PIERRE-MARIE BERNARD found out quite early in his life that music loved him. He came to that conclusion from the continuous gifts of joy and happiness that she was offering him—every single day and through all kinds of different music styles. He thought he should really do something about it and give some of this love back. Music playing seems like an obvious thing to do but after he failed miserably at every single instrument of the orchestra, he gave up and decided to let play those who are qualified for this activity. To the great relief of his family and neighbors, he decided to switch to a keyboard with letters on it and went on to write stories. At the age of forty-six, this procrastinator by profession, optimist by nature, and French man by chance is putting the final touches on a series of music-inspired short stories that he hopes will find its niche in a currently non-existent market for short-stories books in France.
