The Family Album was a temporary test Cabernet band installed in select CeC locations in the New England region of the United States (Michigan, Rhode Island, and Massachusetts). These were installed during CeC’s bankruptcy in the mid 1980’s due to a shortage of balcony stage animatronics (being done by Elnicky Enterprises) and remand unused after the merger in 1985
The band is consist of three human like animatronics, names vary between locations but commonly known as, John (lead singer), Dee Dee (pianist), and Randy (bass player). These animatronics can be unsettling to some due their big doed eyes and lanky appearance. The band are displayed on a revolving stage that spins during the show (like the center stage for the NRAE). They also seemed to be an interactive show, someone placed backstage puppeteering the animatronics. SPP also tried something similar to this with Billy Bob in the late 80’s
It just disheartens me, because the only thing that I have ever wanted credit for was the music. I never wanted credit for being a wonderful person or anything
