Mike Klym was the drummer for Kornstalk. So the line-up was; Al Simmons on banjo, harmonica, and any other gadget that he could generate a note out of, Fred Penner on the Guitar, Mike Klym on drums and vocals, and Bob King, Jimmy King's son, who wrote "it's fun to be ukrainian, on the hagstrom bass. Kornstalk played to packed rooms. They were VERY professional, extremely funny, and wildly entertaining, at a time when bar-bands just kinda stood there and played.

One of the funniest acts ever in the early 70's
