One last thing! We would love to hear from you. Let us know what you think of the band..or tell us what songs you would like to hear...or to delete for that matter. We want to make our performances enjoyable for our friends and hopefully...fans. You are the reason we set up every night, perform, and tear down. And we realize that, like American Airlines/Southwest/UnitedAirlines...that you have many choices on who to give your business too. :)
