Goner

Rock 'n' roll always/never forgets.

About Me

The three of us have been playing together since 1999. Relocations, graduations, hirings, firings, resignations, applications, flings, courtships, indulgences, marriages, children, divorces, addictions, recoveries, searchings, embarrassments, triumphs, despair, hope, fear, faith, the march of time: we show no signs of stopping. We're all way past 30. And we love you.
