Inner Thoughts:

Music has been my church for as long as I can remember, and I remember some things from when I was six months old! Among the things I most fondly recall are experiences with my first band, a group of five kids calling themselves The Crown Jewels. We adored anything British or British sounding, and while we didn't enjoy the financial resources to equip ourselves with the instruments of the times, we made do.

Having the opportunity to enjoy the marriage of our developed talents and the instruments we always wanted is magic to me. And being able to pay tribute to those artists who so inspired me is equally so. I hope our performances project that, if nothing else.
