Special note;    We would like to welcome our new bass player Greg Lyman who is replacing Dave Aldrich.  At this point the demo cd. which is on this Web page contains contributions from Dave.  We would like to thank Dave for his excellent contribution to our band over the past five years.  We hope to eventually renew our demo with our new players.  As of March 2011, any shows we do will not include Dave, rather our new line up with Greg on bass. I'm sure you won't be disapointed.
