A response to Les Eads...
I was sent mp3's from a performance I taped in Naperville, IL in 1968. I'd "lost" the original 7-1/2" ips reel to reel tape somewhere and couldn't believe it reappeared. Unfortunately, the right track is distorted (I think I made another, better recording at another time there but memory doesn't serve me.
Sounds like you're having fun playing. I play once in a while with musician buddies. Tried out a couple of bands in the last few years but I felt like the (much) older keyboard guy.
I've received quite a few emails the last few years from Dukes fans. My friend, former Duke bass player after Skip and band "roady", fan, all around cool music fanatic, Micheal Kiser just reminded me how cool it is that the band touched many lives.
The band you saw at Dukeskeller/Rogers Park was probably:
Dave Workman, sax/vocals/"emcee", last I heard is in Texas, schoolteacher
Andy Purvis (Jay Andrew) on the west coast, Washington State I believe.
"Skip" Walters, bass, who knows where he is, years ago I heard Hawaii
Keith Kilmer, drums, passed away, or
Dave Carbeener, drums after Keith, not known
