Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
I can't believe that we've been doing this for 20 years now--- and that our original vinyl records are now being bootlegged in Germany!!!
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
General Jo and his groups used to perform in the Hampton Roads area. We are still forming our Phunn Phactor touring band.
