I am reborn at sea.

You know, for three people that play in a band we sure do work hard from time to time. Now that we have finished our Kickstarter campaign we have a moral obligation (and a quasi- legal one) to make a second CD.

“This has to be a typo,” we all said collectively, on the count of three.

Our beloved Day Sheet, the bible of the road that tells us vital info such as, “Does our hotel have room service?” or “How far is it from the venue to my room and will someone carry me like a baby?” 0r (very critical to our egos) “How many people will be at the show?” 150.
