Oh, yeah, and it's good to have someone on the boards who's grammar doesn't need constant tweaking. So welcome, dude!


Right on man, thank you! I am a bit of a writer as well, so I try to be as articulate as possible. Sounds like you have a great and diverse pallete to create from, which is cool. Our drummer was originally a Ska drummer, bassist is practically a disciple of Jaco Pastorius and a good one at that! So we probably are a more jazz influenced combo than jam suggests, but it is a blast to play with these guys.

Are you guys gigging?
