Reverend Road Crew
Penny Haas - Ken's wife Penny often assists at guitar shows nationwide. She brings a civilized charm to the booth, in contrast to Ken and Joe's sometimes childish behavior.

Penny and Ken combined own over twenty-five Reverend guitars making them the unofficial "Reverend Toledo".
Johnny Cola (FDP Member #13) - Johnny often works eastern guitar shows. Almost every musician seems to know him and he speaks "New Yawk" fluently. Guitarist/bassist since 1971, he's been published in Vintage Guitar, frequents L.I. jams, plays the Riverhead Blues Festival and haunts NYC guitar shops during breaks from his day job as NY's Sales Rep for Champion Athleticwear ("I know more about Bras than any man should").
