Danny, PLEASE!!! It's time to release some Shrapnel recordings (live or demo). Just create a MYSPACE site and upload some of those bad boys...Sleep Over, Ziegfried Line...I don't want to die and never hear those songs again. I used to sneak into CBs at the age of 15 just so I could see you guys (with all the other miscreants from Queens Village). Vinnie Acafeta introduced us to your music and we were all hooked. Shrapnel was one of the main reasons I learned how to play drums. Please, brother...throw me and other fans a bone. Cheers!
