If we had the chance we would jump on it.

Lee Sommers(Name de la stage)has been playing guitar since right about when they invented it...I think he played the first "rock" guitar - in that it was made from "rock" as in a caveman built it. Hans Von Bous(name de la bullshitta es la staga)Has been playing several instruments. For years we have played music together and have written hundreds of songs. They would sometimes be the entertainment at family get togethers, etc...Lee being the elder brother had musical experience first and was an inspiration to his younger brother, Hans. Lee played in a band called Mountain Ash and jammed guitar at home sometimes, playing the acoustic and singing John Denver and such, Hans joined in with harmonies and started playing drums on a banjo skin. Later the kit grew to paint cans, bass drums, snares, and other household percussion objects.Lee's guitar playing talent progressed and Hans picked up other instruments along the way and they both put together what they could - eventually both contributing renditions of several instruments, voicings, styles, etc...leading to present time in the home studio referred to as The Shadow Cafe'utilizing the Korg d16xd - digital recorder and electronic drums, keys, guitar and bass and vocals and 25 years collective experience. ...We hope you enjoy your stay...please tell your friends about us!
