About 3 years ago our Guitarist Robert Constantine was diagnosed with cancer of the liver. We were in the middle of recording Spiral Dance. It took allot out of him, but he completed the CD from his strong force of will and his determination and we are very proud of his contribution and sacrifice. I think he knew he was at the end of his life at the young age of 56 years old. We miss him in many ways and his music is in all of these tracks. At our live performances his influence and signature style is in every measure of our music. It took me this long to open up about loosing him. I did not want to think of it. It was too harsh to deal with. Time has passed and here it is for myspace friends to know...BOB we miss you and your guitar and bouzoukie. I hope we are making him proud. Blessings from Fontain
