"Hot Rod Lincoln is an oldies band featuring lawyers, businessmen and politicians. The three founding members, Darryl Berger, Bobby Manard and Chip Saunders, explained that Hot Rod Lincoln began as a one-night party band in 1972 when they were Tulane University law students. One of the trumpet players is Bill Metcalf, former owner of New Orleans CityBusiness magazine. Piano player Lewis Stirling is said to be among the biggest real estate tycoons in the Gulf South. Harmonica player Jon Casbon owns the title company beneath the rehearsal penthouse. Hot Rod Lincoln also employs a few full-time professional musicians to keep the rock rolling."
