About Me

Who knows how they all came together. Chalk it up to strange grace or some rarefied stroke of fortune. If you ask them, you're liable to get six different stories. And they'll probably all bear some small resemblance to the real way it all went down, but make no mistake, that tale is long lost.Sometimes, particularly in the minds of those prone to wander, memories like that, once fluid in their recall, just slowly blend into the deep patchwork of the brain. And to be sure, all of these boys have lived the wandering life.We will be donating $1 from every copy of "Make Me Like Gold" that we sell to the Darfur region of the Sudan. Please see the above blog "Buy a CD, Save Darfur!" for more details.
