A musical prodigy from a young age, Grady appeared with a band, the Greefs, in the series, and in real life played drums for The Yellow Balloon, who had a minor hit with a self-titled song in 1967. He released an album, called "Homegrown," in 1973. Four years ago, he put out another set about the baby boomer generation, titled "Boomer."
