Yup you're correct. Sorry about that, I mixed those 2 guys up. Hundreds upon hundreds of gigs and lots of interactions with fellow musicians.
BTW Wally Palmer is now in a great high energy power pop band called the Empty Hearts, sort of a supergroup with drummer Clem Burke and Elliott Easton of the Cars. Check 'em out.

Skill was the lead guitarist, not drummer.   Maybe we all get confused 
by the video of Jimmy Marinos singing "What I Like About You"?

Btw, I found this youtube video of an 1980 performance in Holland, where 
obviously the crowd had no idea who the band were and what they were 
singing about.

Watch when the camera starts taping people in the crowd, around the 1 
minute mark.   The youtube comments are very funny.

> The open act was a very new band called the Romantics. They played great and one of the guitarists (Wally Palmer) sang most of the songs but the drummer (Mike Skill) did a couple. We hung out with them for a while and when they found out that Jim was also in the Misfits they went a bit nuts and explained they had traveled from Michigan to Toronto to see their show.
