Cathy Wetzel, originally from Littleton, Colorado, moved to Iowa in 1975. She was in a local band called CaFaye for 12 years with her husband Jerry, which is where she met Gregory who was their bass player and best man at their wedding. She has written many songs over the years that reflect the trials and successes of her life, which she has woven into a musical play and hopes to record it. She is currently in the band Rose ‘N Thorns that plays in the Quad Cities. Gregory Payton- I've been a Musician since my early teenage years. I started out wanting to be a guitar player and that was the first instrument that I owned. I switched to the bass after some friends and I wanted to put a band together and there was no one to play bass. My father was a well known musician in the area and had a band called the "Dukes of Rhythm" and the bass player had an old bass he wasn't using and gave it to me. So, that was the start of my musical career.

Story behind the song
There are seeds that only open after a fire - it's how the forest survives. I wrote this song years ago after my world burned down, and I had to decide whether I was the ash or the seed.
Lyrics
Firestorm Here we are, standing under the stars Light in your eyes blinds you to my heart Sound on sound, hear the words as they fall to the ground lose their way, you can't hear what I say Feel the earth, touch my hand, find what it's worth Both strong and weak, too deaf and dumb to speak View through a looking glass, backwards reversed, silent night so dark so serene Then comes the gathering storm as lightning strikes a match to what is and could have been And the world is turned to red and gold as flames light the sky and delivers the ashes of our lives and burns the truth with the lies. Time goes by, like a whisper then a sigh Lost in the air, a perpetual goodbye Here outside breathe the promise of summer sky It's all bright and new - it's waiting for you. Firestorm begins, burns the past down to the skin. Did life end - or did it just begin.
