Look for more graphical and layout enhancements in the weeks to come. To take advantage of some visual effects and especially the media page, you will have to allow Java Script to run. This will likely pop up as a warning when you enter our site, it is completely safe to allow them to run (at least at our site). Please let me know if anything is not functioning by sending me an email including your Operating System, web browser type/version, and issue you are having. 12.19.09   Thanks to all who braved the snow storm and made it out to Cary Street Cafe last night. Thankfully all members made it safely to the club just in time for a slightly late start. We had a great time playing and hope everyone made it home safe and sound. Some of us got to watch the sun come up while sitting at a dead stop on the highway while others braved the back roads to make it back to the comfort our evening’s respite. 08.15.09   Camp Barefoot was immensely fun and we can’t wait to return in 2010 in Bartow, WV. This festival served also as induction for harmonicist and keyboardist, Cory Potrafka. Cory had sat in with the band on a number of occasions but this was the first time playing the whole show. Thanks to all who hung out with us all weekend making this one of the most memorable festivals to date for us! See pics See Video Download recorded audio
