"Breakthrough" Wins the Battle of the "Legal" Bands

"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*.
