The Highlanders Orchestra

The Highlanders Orchestra were Bud Ault (trumpet), Ernie Szali (drums), Wayne Warren (sax and clarinet), Ziggy Orstadeous (guitar, vibes, trombone, and vocals), and Tom Brown (Sanovox electronic accordion/organ). 

I played with this dance band from 1972 to 1982. We played every Saturday at the Riverview Wyandotte Moose on Quarry Road in Riverview, Michigan. On Fridays and Sundays, we played as a three-piece band at weddings, clubs, bars, and parties.
