--I think there were/are only three of them, including Ben himself, although 
they use session players, of course.  The "five" was part of their sardonic 
humor.

dropped the group and is now just Ben Folds.

-- "Brick" still reduces me to tears;  saw the video by accident on VH1 while 
I was channel surfing a couple of years or so ago,  and went right out and 
bought the album (whatever&ever amen).  Didn't know they'd dropped the 
"five"-- did he really go solo, or is he still working with the other two 
guys who were on all the other albums? Can't wait to but the new one -- I've 
heard only good about it.
