Hah very very true. It's especially hard to find a talented drummer in these parts. I would fill the roll myself but I can't afford a set.

Thanks a ton for the support! We are actually still in the making haha. We've been looking for a decent drummer but those are hard to find in the area for some reason. Oh well, I'll improvise like always!

Haha I was surprised to see you as well. Absolutely I will see what I can do with K.B. and all that business. By the way the Monday in September is the 1st (I remember because my birthday is that coming thursday haha) But I will definitely try to swing by to the latter of the dates. It'd be groovy to see you guys perform again.

Take care of yourself, and tell the family I said hi.

Whoaa, Scholp's in a band..
And it's good, def liking the sound..
A lot better than much of today's music.

PS I dunno if Mr. Scholp is the one who checks this, but he should be informed that it was very diappointing he didn't sub today for Herman.
