Lenny St. Hubbins

 Michael McKean, a native New Yorker,

was born on October 17, 1947.

His mom was a librarian,

his dad, one of the founders of Decca Records.

And yes, like the Spinal Tap band that he would later "lead" 

in a Christopher Guest movie,

he was part of The Left Banke,

a baroque pop band in the late 60s.

 Michael met David Lander (soon to be Squiggy)

at Carnegie Mellon,

where they formed a comedy team with Harry Shearer

"The Credibility Gap".

In 1976 Michael and David were cast in Laverne & Shirley,

and later recorded Lenny & The Squigtones,

an album with Christopher Guest guesting as Nigel Tufnel.

in the soap opera spoof, "Young Doctors In Love",

from 1982.

 Also from that year,

Harry Shearer, Christopher Guest and Michael

in This Is Spinal Tap. 

This trio (and supposedly Director Rob Reiner)

wrote the music for the band.

They met on the set of Laverne & Shirley back in 1997.

They've been married since 1999.
