After over a year of sleeping, we're back at it. I took a bit of a break from the fan page for personal reasons. I plan to be back for a bit, so doing some housecleaning. A few things need to be worked on.
Among the first is that this site is now on its way to being phone and tablet friendly. So check it out on your phone and please give feedback. As always, there's a backlog of discography corrections and additions, so please do contact me with those.
