“Lazy Does It got its start in the mid-90s when the leader, Len Yaeger, got a request from the organizers of the annual Pratt School Ice Cream Social in Minneapolis to supply a band for the event. Len had recently played with a pick-up group at the nearby Prospect Park United Methodist Church, and most of the original Lazy Doers were members of that church. The band has evolved, and Gordy Myers, the regular drummer, is now the only member of that congregation who still plays in the group. Although our basic personnel have been the same for a long time now, over the years we have enjoyed the talents of many different guest performers.”
