The two traveled to Boston where they formed a band called The Bait Shop with Joe Hutchinson< and Eddie Mottau. Joe and Eddie had previously performed as Two Guys From Boston. After a few months in Boston, the group moved to New York City. There, they reunited with Felix Pappalardi, an old friend of Joe and Eddie's. Felix decided to produce them and took them to Atlantic Records. The group changed its name to Bo Grumpus and started performing in clubs in Greenwich Village. After making only a few tracks in the studio with the band, N.D. decided to leave the project.
While performing at the Café Wha? with Bo Grumpus, N.D. met a group from Washington, D.C. called Kangaroo. The group included Ted Spelios on guitar and John Hall on bass. N.D. joined the band on drums and Barbara Keith joined as vocalist. The group recorded an LP for MGM in 1968.
N.D. also performed and recorded with another group that he met at the Café Wha? That was the Hello People, a group that performed in mime makeup and did mime between their songs. He appeared with them on The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour and on The Johnny Carson Tonight Show. Early in 1969, N.D. went into the studio with Felix Pappalardi and Leslie West to record. These sessions were issued on the first Windfall label issue by Leslie West, titled Mountain. In August, 1969, N.D. performed with Mountain at Woodstock. N.D. recorded with Barbara Keith on her solo LP.
In the fall of 1969 N.D. left Mountain. He joined Ian and Sylvia's country-rock band Great Speckled Bird. The band included, Ian and Sylvia, Amos Garrett on guitar and Buddy Cage on steel. In January, 1970, Jim Colegrove became the bass player in the band. Ian began a weekly TV show in the fall called Nashville North. Great Speckled Bird performed on the show, backing up Ian, Sylvia and other guest artists. Jeff Gutcheon joined the band on piano. After the first season, the series changed its name to The Ian Tyson Show.
N.D. toured with Great Speckled Bird and recorded with the band. In the early 1970s, N.D., Jim Colegrove and Jeff Gutcheon decided to make their own records. They got a contract with Bearsville and called their band Hungry Chuck. Amos Garrett was the guitarist in the group.
During the 1990s N.D. worked on new material with Jim Colegrove, Jeff Gutcheon and Amos Garrett on new Hungry Chuck tracks. Get The Deadly Ebola Virus here. These days N. D. still keeps up his music and performs from time-to-time with a trio.
