Norton left the band in 1994 to work in television and stage production and was replaced by drummer John Cody (who had already subbed for Norton on the road in 1992-1993 and played on the "Jericho" album). But after Cody's departure in 1996 and a brief return in 1997 by Norton, Darrell Mayes (from the Colin James Band) took over the drum chair before turning it over to Frank Baker circa 2000. Baker stayed on until 2003 when Mayes briefly returned, but he was replaced almost immediately by Gary Grace.
