   About The Pons

While searching for a band name, we arrived at the Pons by looking up information on the medulla oblongata thinking that would be a great title for a record. The Police had Zenyatta Mondatta. So why not? Anyway, we liked what we saw and what it meant. The Pons. Controller of dreams, arousal, even the breath that you take and the one after, and the one after that. Pretty heady stuff. Watch "The Diving Bell and the Butterfly". His Pons dies. "Locked-In syndrome is a condition in which a patient is aware and awake, but cannot move or communicate due to complete paralysis of nearly all voluntary muscles in the body. It is the result of a brain stem lesion in which the ventral part of the pons is damaged." What does this have to do with our music? Ummm..Listen to "Wake Up Call". Listen to "Wherever You Are". "Giant". "Metal Heart". Even the title; "In the Belly of a Giant" suggest a total loss of control. Maybe its about being a part of something bigger than yourself. Maybe its a part of you that longs to be bigger than yourself. Bill Hicks once said, " we are only the imagination of ourselves".

Ruby! Great to catch up with you (finally) at Becca's birthday deal last night.

When you all are done tracking I'd love to do a mix/remix of a song or two for y'all. Let me know what you think - it could be pretty cool.

Best wishes!

Your team mate,

I purchased your CD at the Double-Wide earlier this month. Just wanted to let you know that I am loving it. My faves at this time are "Wherever You Are" & "Giant". "She's The One" is pretty great as well.

Sure would like to see you back in Dallas soonish.

XX,

Mia
