This site was put together because we still hear, from time to time, comments like, "It was so much fun singing along back in the day!" and "What are you guys up to these days?" This site might be a fun place to reminisce, bring back some good memories and reconnect with old friends and fans.

Hola! I know this must be Bill, thanks for the add bro. And the memories!! In case you haven't figured it out, this is Paul from the Espresso Bar, aka chIeF from God Stands Still. Long time no see. I think the last time we crossed paths was at the original Tatnuck Bookseller in Wista. Ironically we were both christmas shopping! How have you been? Drop me a line sometime......
