Jacques, in his own defense has this to say about himself: Jacques “Fish Slapper” Thomas began life in Mobile, Ala...
"Like most kids, I started my musical journey playing the piano.  Life sunk to a new 'low' when my uncle Lee arrived in-town with a bass and taught me the basic tunings of this magnificent tool.
During the middle years of life, I learned more about playing the bass from being in a few bands.
Then as life began to speed up, I took a sabbatical from playing until one night after leaving work in Silver Spring, Md., A weird fellow with a ray-gun re-ignited the passion I once had for playing and convinced me that it was in my best interests to join him in his crusade to organize a group of unknown superheros to provide the world with good original music and some 'Weird Dave Chords'.
That my story and I’m sticking to it."
