| In the early-seventies, the Bee Gees were little more than the a washed-up sixties nostalgia group and nobody could have predicted how they would completely dominate the Billboard charts just a few years later. The style of music that would soon become known as "disco" was evolving and bowling alley nightclub bands these days were expected to perform the latest hits by KC & the Sunshine Band, Tower of Power, and the Ohio Players, along with music from Lynyrd Skynrd and Wet Willie - and of course, that new Bee Gees song, called "Jive Talkin'". |

This usually required a couple of trumpets and saxes - and Bob had one of each. Bob disbanded Skyline #2 and joined the group calling itself "Home Free". Two musicians soon left that band including the guy who owned the "Home Free" name, and thus "Skyline" was given its third and final musical incarnation.
Marc, Mike, Bob, Paul, Johnny Guitar and Steve were all instrumental in popularizing this new musical dance club format that would soon be known as "disco". Nightclubs and bowling alleys throughout the Twin Cities and especially shows at Flaherty's, the Chain Link, and Duffy's (on their revolving stage!) made this group a popular staple in the midwest entertainment market.
