He's not on any of the photos in the liner notes or in the bonus photo gallery on Poodle Hat. Plus, according to the liner notes, he only played the keyboards/piano on 3 songs: "P@TLC", "Ode To A Superhero", and "Bob". :onfire: Kim Bullard played the keyboards on the majority of the songs.

Kim plays keyboards for parts of alot of Al's CDs (She's even on RWS) I think the fact that Ruben played keyboards during the parody phase of recording says that he's still a meber of the band.

Al didn't mention Ruben on the KABC interview last night either.



QUOTE Al: You actually have to have better musicianship to be able to copy something that accurately.  
Mr. KABC: The musicians that you work with, are these the same group of guys that--?

Al: The same guys. In fact, we're gonna be on the road with the same guys, I mean-- it's Jon \"Bermuda\" Schwartz on drums, Jim West on guitar, Steve Jay on bass, and I've been with them since the early '80's.

Well didn't Ruben actually join them around 1990? So he wouldn't be considered one of the "original" band members..

Kim's a "he" I believe.

Bermuda mentioned in the NG that Kim has done keyboard work for them as far back as Even Worse. *He* (Kim) is even in the Money For Nothing/Beverly Hillbillies video briefly.. (now that he says that, I remember looking that up at one point cause I saw it wasn't Ruben and wanted to know who was playing keyboard).
