The Nighthawks
The Nighthawks was an idea in Mark Wenner’s brain long before he was able to implement it. The musical product of pre-1958 radio in Washington, D.C., he did not know there were rules against mixing blues, R&B, honky-tonk country, doo-wop, gospel and rockabilly into one delicious stew.

Rev. Billy C. Wirtz
It might seem that blues & boogie-woogie pianist, Billy C. Wirtz (real name William Wirths), was unsure which career path to follow, so he found a way to follow them all. He is a skilled musician, a former special education teacher, a satirist, published writer, former wrestling manager, music historian, music educator, radio show host, and he has even officiated at weddings as the ordained minister of the “First House of Polyester Worship and Throbbing Teenage Desire”
