    1. They’re still going, despite the fact that none of the original members are still there. A few of them have joined the Eternal Jam Session.. . It’s possible that Jerry was already studying chiropractic when he joined BS&T (If I’ve done my calculations right, he was in his early 20’s when he was in the band), or maybe he left specifically to study it. Who knows?
