There is no good answer to this question. Plus, it is difficult to make up one's mind with so many options.
A while back, we broke up. Not so long ago, we loosely reformed and added some folks who pop in from time to time. Sometimes there are lots of us, sometimes just one or two. Some of us were in a band called Murphey, one was in Finding Steve Cunningham. Other people have or may show up when the planets align, bringing with them cellos and banjos and lap steel and accordian and lovely female vocalizations. We are a Nashville outfit.

Wow. Very nice, old friends! Nice to see you are still alive. You should come check out the 515 sometime soon. I've got some cool projects coming up, but I would love to make room for another if you are in the market! Oh yeah, and maybe an Old Bear / Ethan Swim show soon?
