While almost giving up he stumbled upon a CD of a local band NO REASON. When he heard Dicky Reome’s playing he was floored. Dicky was just the kind of guitar player he was looking for. Sammy and Dicky got together and AVIGAL was born. Drummer Carl Canedy, a good friend of Sammy’s from the RODS days was recruited to play the drums. On bass the band features Mark Denson.
