i can't name them all off of the top of my head, but i can assure you
that one of them, sam rizzetta, is still alive and well.  he is a
woodworker specializing in hammered and mountain dulcimers and bowed
psaltries.  i see him three or four times a year at crafts festivals
here in the northern va area (waterford, manassas, bluemont, etc), where
he plays and sells his wares with his wife.  i'm told by people who
play that his hammered dulcimers are among the best available, and that
the waiting list is inordinately long to get one.  i don't believe i've
heard of him performing on stage in recent years, but he still has
several albums available.  i think he live in elkins, wv - home of
trapezoid (though they've since moved "back east", i believe to the
suburban d.c. area.)

i'm pretty sure the bass player is an original member also.
