the songs are by collaboration.
8. Where do you see yourself as a band 5 years
from now?
Well, everyone's goal is to get a record deal
and to tour big. However, we play because we love it. If the record deal
etc. happens it happens. If not, we are not gonna worry about it. Dave
says " I have been playing for 12 years and this is the best arrangement
of musicians that I've been with by far."
9. Any future club dates, web sites to check
out, cd's etc....that you want fans/music lovers to know about?
