After announcing their retirement at their Farewell Gig in July 1995, The Professors shock the music world by reforming to play their infamous Reunion Gig at the Annual Conference of the International Communication Association, Chicago, IL, to incredible reviews.

Jennifer Lehr made her premiere as lead singer with the band with an incredible rendition of "Five Long Years" which left the crowd stunned, and then shouting for more. Craig Brown made a superlative guest appearance on drums. Not only do the The Professors return to the stage and the limelights, they also debut two original songs - Unabomber (T-ski) and The Bottle (Radford/Marshall). The band also premiere the original John Lennon/Luthor Allison fusion, Crippled Inside.

While in the Windy City, The Professors also had time to make their first studio recordings at Dress Rehearsals Studio, West Hubbard Street, Chicago.

The Professors rocked the halls of academe. Next year they should be given a plenary session.

Introducing The Professors, I thought how Ed Sullivan must have felt introducing Elvis.

It was good for my soul. It showed me that professors can rock out and we don't have to be nerds all the time.
Mike McDevitt, Graduate Student, Stanford University

The Professor's pulsating rhythms combined with their raw sexuality totally overcame me. I will never be the same.

The Professors' driving melange of styles from Gdansk, Nottingham, and Berkeley remains unique in the history of music.

The Professors embody my theory, my ouevre.
