Rest in Peace

On April 30, 2010 at 12:30 a.m. our drummer, and friend, Steve Strayhorn passed away. We want to thank everyone for their prayers and support during his illness. He fought valiantly, and played better than a healthy drummer even when his cancer had spread all over. Performing with Steve was such a pleasure, he made everything so effortless, and being friends with him was so easy, he was just an easy-going guy. He worked hard even when he was sick, and only toward the end did he even let us "help" him a little. We will miss him terribly, there will never be another quite like him. Rest in peace dear friend.
