Howard Longino

(Guitar/Vocals)

Music was a constant in the Longino family, dating back to the Roman Empire when Longinus, the centurion, was renowned for his skills singing and playing the Roman flourish, an ancient stringed instrument resembling a Sitar. Musical ability survived the immigration to the New World in the early 1700's and continued so many generations later with all of the Longino family...except for Howard. Howard is a dolt, but he is nice...so we let him play in The Hoots. Frankly, we just needed any warm body with 7 (no fewer than 5) body openings and a pulse.
