It is with sadness that I report that our drummer, Joe Donahue, will be leaving the band. I have been with Joe a little over 2 years now. When I was looking for a drummer I auditioned many guys and had not found anyone that was what I was looking for. Just when I had reached total dispair over the situation Joe emailed me. He had been in a very popular wedding band in Boston and had relocated to St Peters. I had figured "wedding band drummer. . yeah right. . .this guy is probably pretty average".
I could not have been more wrong. Joe was far and away the best guy of them all. Joe saved me and the band and helped establish us as a real force in the St Charles area. Joe has a quiet leadership and wisdom that I could always turn to when I needed it. He helped me work through some trying times. That wisdom along with his solid drumming will be greatly missed. I am so very grateful that he took a chance on my band even though the time was way too short. Just in case I never said it before I want to say it now. Thanks Joe, thanks so much for everything. I will miss you terribly my friend!!

New Singer
We have a new lead singer named Ron Smith. Ron is a great guy and a fine singer and I am real happy to be working with him. He brings a much higher vocal range to the band and allows us to play material by artists that we have not been able to do before like Forigner, Led Zepplin, and Queen.
