   About the farewells
the farewells were formed in 2003 by robert kenna; who had a couple of songs and enough talented friends to record the debut album, ... suspicious tones. recorded from 2003-2004 by robert kenna, george dubber, and joe harry at the 205 studios. songs were then mixed by robert kenna and george dubber, mastered by dave feeny at tempermill studios, put out by ginger gorilla records, and gobbeled by the masses. in the winter of 2008, the farewells returned to playing live shows with a new lineup. new members include nick white and larry johnson. work on the second farewells album has begun at MMARS audio studios in ypsilanti, mi. check out upcoming shows: Photobucket Photobucket Photobucket !!!

Very Nice Robert, you wrote me another song. Do people find it strange that you write me so many songs...at least you took my advice and changed from the original titles, First song for Nick, Second song for Nick... If you were straight I'd blow ya thanks for the inspirado
