After C.T.S. split up, Witkowski worked for a while with a very good
singer named B.E. Taylor in western PA. That was many years ago. No
idea about Griffiths.

There was an article in the Baltimore City Paper within the past year
that told what's become of the various Crack dudes. If you're near
Balmer you could probably track it down.

I still see Witkowski in/around the Balto/Washington D.C. area on
occasion; he was on the most recent Kerry Tracy (ex-Crack the Sky
member) solo CD...

My best friend, is the Nat Kerr, the keyboardist who played with B.E.
Taylor, so therefore, I know Rick Witkowski personally. He still
plays occasionally with B.E. Taylor, in the Western Pa. area. Once in
a while you may see he, and Bill on the "Light Music" television show,
on the Cornerstone network, which is an independant Christian TV
station in Western Pa.
He also has his own studio ("Studio L"), probably named after the
song "Vitamin L", which was a popular song by B.E. Taylor, in the
mid-80's. The song was penned by Rick, and his wife Debbie, and was
on the Billboard charts briefly. It was a huge hit, in the Pittsburgh
area. The group made a couple of albums, and an EP. They're out of
print obviously, but I've seen them occasionally in used record shops,
and record shows. The most succesful album was "Love Won The Fight"
on MCA records, (MCA-39007), which included "Vitamin L".
These days Rick, and my friend Nat, are in a collaberation, doing
production, and soundtracks for the MacMillan book company. I believe
they write, and record the soundtracks, for the books-on-tape,
childrens stories. They also do other commercial soundtracks.
That's about all I can tell you about Rick at the moment.
I hope this helps.
I don't know Jim Griffiths, nor do I know what he's doing now. Sorry.
