The Professors channel Elvis on this rendition of "Suspicicious Minds"

Fall 1998 saw the most extensive tour yet in the history of the Professors. On October 3, the Professors performed as a quartet (Barrows, Radford, Romanenko, and Kubey) at an outdoor halloween party in Jackson Mills, New Jersey, hosted by Kevin Patten, a good friend of Radford's brother-in-law, Gerard Stafford-Smith. Patten and Stafford-Smith are members of the legendary band THE GRATEFUL SHEDHEADS, who played a set of Grateful Dead, Radiohead, and Alanis Morissette; well, at least until the rain started coming down.
