"Here's some of the things that came to mind about being a musician when I thought about writing for our website:

CHOICE: To become a musician as both a hobby or job to go out and perform, it's a matter of where to put your energy. Success or failure you just keep on going.

LUCK: To have time, family support and clubs who hire us and fans that come out to hear us.

HARD WORK: It's constant practice, developing new material, keeping up with the market and musical trends. We've been at it for over 25 years, so we've gone from records to tapes to CD's and now music produced through computers.

REWARDS: A long time stable relationship with band members, friends and fans and the ability to express mutual life experiences and dreams."

Thanks to all the family, friends and fans-JOHN
