At one time there was Snoogs. Brother Snoogs to you. An enigma wrapped in a puzzle, contained in a conundrum. Snoogs was a gold mine of minutiae. King of the abstruse. This riddle became Freemont B. Dumont.
Somehow related to Lamont B. Dumont, Freemont lived the life of a country gentleman. Surrounded by his books and dirty laundry, he spent the decade of the seventies pursuing research in the field of sleeping late. After a short stint on the assembly line making Delta 88's, Freemont chucked it all for the life of a Spud. Freemont was the one person who you could rely on to wake from a stoned sleep and know just which damn wire was plugged in wrong. Along with Beans and the BooBrick, Snoogs made sure that when the Flying Dogs had a particularly bad night, no one would blame the PA System. Before Freemont though, it was Snoogs. And Snoogs life changed when a young Beans suggested that Snoogs could be a bass player, and he should buy a bass. Beans left for California and Snoogs bought his bass. On Beans return months later Snoogs proved Beans right. Snoogs could play bass. As a matter of fact he could play it pretty good. With the Flying Dogs now the central reason for not finding a job, Snoogs and TBO managed spend the next 4 years not working. This allowed a goodly amount of time for jamming. Snoogs and Beans did everything together. Well not really, it just seemed that way. But they did manage to get in trouble with the law together. This little reality came back to haunt Snoogs in his later years when he was turned down for a prime position in one of the nations nuclear weapons plants. But that's another story.
After the crash and burn, Snoogs headed west and married his hearts delight. Ended up living at an altitude of 8,000 feet in Colorado, then moved to the sweltering summers of North Carolina where he invents wild colors for white water kayaks. The unfortunate snow storm incident kept Snoogs from re-uniting with the Spuds in Illinois. Someday we will manage to get him to a gig. Who knows maybe even Boobrick will show up.

When it came to playing bass
for the Spuds Snoogs was a rock. Some of his best work is the bass he plays on
