"Breakthrough" Wins the Battle of the "Legal" Bands held at the Phoenix Hill Tavern on Sept. 22, 2005. The following photos were taken by Kim Kasey with the Louisville Bar Association. Thanks a million for sharing! The bands are identified with their members and the lawyers are noted with an asterisk [*] by their names.
Think of Mary Chapin Carpenter's song "Girls With Guitars" and a few lyrical transpositions and you have:
Lawyers with guitars (Now everybody's rocking)
Lawyers with guitars (The courthouse is talking)
Lawyers with guitars (They gotta lot appeal)
Lawyers with guitars
The winning group was chosen based upon the amoung of money raised in band-specific tip jars with $1.00 the minimum vote. Caveat: Voter fraud and ballot stuffing were encouraged!
Breakthrough won the event. The members are Mark Grundy*, Phillip Harmon, Glen Price*, Mark Riddle*, Kenji Tashiro*, and Paul Whitty*.
The Aquatones with Richard Hornung*, Dave Goddard, Paul King, Collette Burney.
Hydrostatic with members Scott Gordon*, Daniel English, Darren Gilmore, Larry Foster, and Sascha Kerlin*.

This foundation provides up to $4,000 in internship funding for a student from the Brandeis School of Law at the University of Louisville. The intern is engaged to work in areas such as family law, domestic violence and spouse abuse, or HIV/AIDS.
