The Blendors

The Blendors, back in 1984, started a group that would go down in music history as one of the best blending groups of all times. Although they have lost a lot of hair and have gained alot of weight, they still keep playing. Several of the members are in wheel chairs. But that doesn't stop them from playing the music you enjoy hearing.

Just the other day, Cliff Washburn, lead guitarist was bragging to Dave Cantrell that he hadn't broke a string in 16 years when all of a sudden, his E string broke and cut his ear open to the bone. But not to worry. After being rushed to the hospital, having his ear stitched up, was back at rehearsal practicing for that weekends gig and the Moms and Pops Centurian Nursing home. A gig they have enjoyed playing for many decades because there is such a good turn over at the home and new faces every time they play.

Their unique pyramid style of performing has been attempted by many bands throughout the years. As they kneel on each others back, they perform hits like, "Feelings", Papas Got a Brand New Bag", and "If I Were A Rich Man."

Once, while performing the song, "I Just Called to Say I Love You" to a crowd of Pre-schoolers, their style aroused the little children who tried to emulate their idols and fell on each other. The kids got their pyramid up to 6 high when they fell breaking bones and teeth. The Pre-school was sued by the parents and the school had to close.

But that didn't stop The Bendors. They performed at many events throughout the years, including weddings.

In an interview with Dave Cantrell, he was quite proud of the fact that The Blendors had performed at close to 6000 weddings and only 5785 ended up in divorce. He pointed out the fact that that was a pretty good thing seeing how everyone was getting divorced these days anyway.
