BluesWax - "A really great album is more than a collection of songs and Murder of a Blues Singer ends up being greater than the sum of its parts. When it's over, you feel like you've been somewhere."

Colin Dussault
My good friend, Colin Dussault has had a rough month of March.
It's going to be
a long road to recovery for Colin who survived a torn aortic
arch. As of a couple of
weeks ago, Colin decided to come back to work with the band.
Take it slow,
bro. There's a great comic strip towards the bottom of the
homepage on his
website!
