 OK I know what Tom and Andrew are up to and Fats Kaplin has been with
 Manhattan Transfer, Suzy Bogguss etc. but what of Billy Troiani and Charles
 Caldarola...

 What a F#$%#n great band - gone but not forgotten:)

No.defenitely not forgotten. I remember expressing the same feeling some
months ago on this list...
Last time I spoke with Billy he was living over here (Oslo, Norway) because
his daughter lives here with her mother. He's been playing with different
bands, actually including a Tom Russell showcase on Gamla. I asked about
Charles, and I think he said that he was still druming.in some
bluesband. But I'm really not sure (this was pretty late)

Billy Troiani is currently living in Oslo, Norway where he is playing with
several local bands.
There are plans for a full Tom Russell Band tour in Norway late 1999/ early
2000.
Charles Caldarola quit TRB before the band split up and was replaced by Mike
Warner and in the last couple of years by several other drummers.
The band did one show at the end of 1997 at the Gamla in Oslo with Norwegian
drummer Tore Wildhauer and Bob Egan (Wilco, Freakwater) filling inn on steel
for Fats.
