Band Members: Each song of the solo CD "Cupidville" is a member of the group. The CD Cupidville was written in the confines of Hugo Ray Park in West Vancouver. Many a nite out on the balcony or in my room looking up at the stars and wondering about where my past lovers and dreams went. So I wrote about life concepts, past loves and current ones, too. 15 original tunes, with 5 of the songs making the daylite to the public at MYSPACE. (In addition, a special THX U to Erika Moore for putting up with the constant practicing at her home residence.) It wasn't supposed to happen -- the writing of songs; Songwriting came very late in my life. I like to thx my mum for the encouragement from heaven. Dirtman from Power 104 in K Town. I hope you enjoy the music that i've put on this page. Gord Jantzen on all guitars and vocals...... Enjoy the notes; embrace the music
