~~~Joe and Tom's Gear for all you GEARHEADS!!~~~
A Cauldron of Oddities............. a combination of all our musical influences, without prejudice to any specific genre, to create a conglomeration of our own sounds and moods. The down fall to todays "popular music", is to catagorize. Those "record company pricks" (as Zappa puts it), that create fabricated bands, pump that s%&t up the worlds butt (especially america). By doing this they are preventing the real musical artists from surfacing. Which is OK by us because the common lay person still has access to see these people on a local level and yet view the greats of the past as their true fans stick with them and the plastic people go away! My wish is to someday hope we may all be connected by passing on of word of mouth again and the corporate greed hounds get a job at McDonalds cleaning grease traps. TO ALL THOSE WHO COME TO OUR SITE, YOU WILL ALWAYS BE EXTEMELY APPRICIATED because connecting to the world, via music, is our passion. Yours in music, Joe and Tom of the Cauldron of oddities
