"Magic Deb" Klossner
Originally from New Ulm, Minnesota, Deb has been playing bass since 1983. After years of performing with several rock bands from Southern Minnesota, including Damzel, Flyer and the Rage, Deb joined Blue Max in October of 1987.
Deb and the late great AC Reed (1926-2004) take a break at the Trempealeau Hotel Blues Bash in 1994.
We had a great time with the self proclaimed "man who's full of sh**" (as the sign on his amplifier said).
Photo of Grandma Deb taken by her grandson Calvin Jobe. Looks like he may have a career in photography someday!
Deb's first working band, Damzel in 1983 at the Fox Lake Ballroom. Ann Stapleton on vocals/keys; Diane Malmgren on guitar/vocals; and Kevin Spitzner on drums/vocals.
We had a manager, an agency, a sound and light man, a big truck, a huge PA, lots of lights, flash pots, a fog machine and not much money - but we had fun!!
