Few people find their niche in life, and Mark Helms is one of them. It is hard to imagine a Dutch Falconi Orchestra without him. (He did leave the group for a short while last year, and was admirably replaced by Brad Cross, but it just seemed odd, you know?) Now he's back, pounding out those Gene Krupa riffs (his favorite) along with many of his own. Although his career is being a master chef (he's the head chef at Ricci's on J st.), his soul belongs to Dutch.
