Stranger Comes Calling ......
Soon into Kid Ridlyn's fourth year, Donnie was presented with the opportunity to front Florida's number one rock band.......Stranger. When he asked us about this chance we all agreed that it would be a great opportunity for him to move up in his dream in the music business. As much as it hurt the rest of the band we all supported his chance at this dream. The rest of the band started holding auditions for Donnie's replacement................. which turned out to be a dead end because there was no way of replacing the continuity of the band without him. Danny went off to play locally in St. Cloud with a friend he had known there. Steve worked more hours at his other job as part owner of Kate O'Briens in downtown Orlando. And Dave became the house tech running sound for the Fairbanks Inn.
