Doug Day Afternoon

Hey Soul Mates,
it's June 1, a day to celebrate. Why? It's our drummer, Doug Gordon's birthday!
I'm just so thrilled to play with Doug. He's our anchor. His drumming certainly makes my bass playing infinitely better. No cat can drive like our dog. Ha Ha. (And if you've ever been in a car with him that has a double meaning.)

I've known Doug for about 5 years now and played with him for 3 of those. It seems like longer than 3 years, through ups and downs: Rock The Stones, personnel changes. But Doug has remained loyal and steadfast through it all. I just can't express how thankful I am for him.
Much love, Dog.

June 1 is a historic day in Pop music. Doug was born and Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band was released by the Beatles. Needless to say Sgt. Pepper is the most important record in my reckoning. I learned to read by following the lyrics printed on the album's back cover. I'll have to throw that CD on today. There are albums that I prefer to it now, but that's the first LP that I can remember wearing out the grooves.

So, while you are on MySpace drop Doug a birthday note. Or better yet, come to our next gig and wish him a Happy (Belated) Birthday in person. "We hope you will enjoy the show!"

Love, Power, Peace.
