"This CD was a mixture of album cuts that we hoped would get a second chance to be heard, from the previous three CD releases. We're glad we put the record out. A lot of folks come up and say, 'Oh, I like this song or I like that song.' That's proof that if you put a great song on a record when the times and the way people are thinking are off, it will go right over their heads," said Doug. "Sometime around the first of 2009, we were riding down the road on the bus and got to talking about all those dusty recordings we had lying around. We’ve been recording since the early 70s, and there are still a ton of things no one has heard. Then we got to thinking...what if all of a sudden, the bus grew wings and carried us all off somewhere, like heaven. No one but us would know where all those recordings are hidden. So we decided right then and there to get off our rumps and start putting them out for people to enjoy," said Richard. *Come early. Seating is limited. Must be 21 or older. Times and performers are subject to change.
