Original Max Q All-Astronaut Band, Part I

Presented by collectSPACE.com -- The Source for Space History and Artifacts In June 1987, the all-astronaut band Max Q played their first gig. The members then were Robert "Hoot" Gibson on guitar, George "Pinky" Nelson on vocals, Jim Wetherbee on drums, and Brewster Shaw on rhythm guitar. With the induction on May 2, 2009 of Nelson and Wetherbee, all of the original members of Max Q (including Steve Hawley, who joined soon after that first performance on keyboard) are now enshrined in the US Astronaut Hall of Fame. On May 1, 2009, at a gala celebrating the new inductees, attendees were surprised by a performance by the original Max Q band members. More about Max Q collectspace.com
