We know it's a REALLY imaginative name. We tried other "clever" stabs at it. We kept coming up with names that had already been registered, or were too trite to be considered. We decided, after 25 years of doing this, if anything was going to "pop", we will do it on the strength of the material, and not some paean to some otherworldly metaphor.

We have in the past (all the major rock clubs in Chicago). We don't right now. We have the mantle of "parental responsibilities", which take a great deal of our time. Given the limits, we are chosing (right now) to concentrate on writing and recording. We do LIKE to perform (and both of us are quite natural hams, and bon vivant, rapier wits. Bwawahahahah.) Special moments...leaving 300 people cheering on their feet at the Cubby Bear, on a mid-January Wednesday, on the coldest day of the year (28 below zero)

The net makes access easier for the performer and the listener. It allows the "unconnected" to have their work heard.

YES, on OUR terms. We're too old to be trying to sell an "image". We are musicians and writers, not physiques and faces.
