Rick "Bongo Boy" Christianson started sitting in at Jupes gigs a few years ago and just keeps showing up. We think we'll keep him. He has become the calm center at the eye of the Jupes musical storm.

He lives a happy, quiet life with his wife of 22 years (and counting), Judy and two teenage children, Mary and John in Happy Valley. His turn-ons include romantic candle lit suppers, quiet walks at sunset and….oh wait, that's for another web site!

Rick is a graduate of the prestigious School of Hard Knocks. By day he plies his trade as an electrician and by night fights for truth, justice and the American way.
