Snow Bud and the Flower People make Rock n Roll music. Music to Fuck by. Music to get stoned to. They do not condone the use of Marijuana, but they have been known to experiment with all drugs known to Man. After much experimentation ,they have come to the conclusion that Weed will fuck up your life the least of all evils. Besides you are already listening so we will assume you are stoned to the bone! Marijuana has been called the "Gateway Drug", the gateway to enlightenment perhaps?" The Tree of Knowledge?" The proverbial "Burning Bush" accussed of causing Laziness and Lethargy. Well we are here to say "So Fucking What?" Lifes a Bitch and then You Die! That's why we get High, cuz ya never know when yer gonna go! Now We've seen some folks do some pretty horrible things to get their Heroin, Cocaine, Meth, etc., But, how many people have Robbed, Prostituted, or Committed Suicide over the Devil Weed? We do admit some of the strains now available are so potent they may render you useless to society and you may become morbidly obese after ingesting huge amounts of Pizza and Ice Cream. None the less, Cannabis grows wild, and we do too! So You decide!

Yo Snow Bud and the Flower Peopleasaurus. I just found out that we're related...and as a special family only present we've made a new song for you called "End of Days" (start doing backflips now). It's an epic instrumental opus to the moment when our ancient Dino relatives saw a large fiery object plummeting towards them. Please come to our page, give it a listen and let us know if it makes you feel like something catastrophic is gonna happen. If the song upsets you too much we will be holding several s support groups (read: comcerts) in the near future. Check our page for locations, dates and times.
Hand painted and printed in the Tim Flanary usual style :)

Dear Friends, Well, it's been six months since my abdominal surgery, and finally the music is starting to flow again. I've written two new songs "Bridge Of Shadows" and something a little different for me called "Looking Glass Man"...my first song using a Strat. I've never owned a Stratocaster before, was always a Les Paul guy (still am). But my wife promised me a new Strat if I just acted brave; and survived the surgery of course. I guessed the Fender would influence me in some "twangy way", but I never imagined it would be a Johhny Cash way, (not that I'm complaining, always kind of liked him). So if you get the chance, please stop by and give them a listen. All my very best to you, and thanks for being friends through some really tough times for me, Your friend, David
