Original Toronto Star caption: The Back Beats: Helping the Toronto revival of rockabilly are the Back Beats who are, from left, Brian Potts, Dennis Martin, Teddy Joe Bunn and Rick Gerussi. Absent is Jim Cranney. Says leader Gerussi: We see ourselves as a dance band primarily - getting people up and moving. And by dancing, he doesn't mean disco.
