Merry Christmas & Happy Chanukah from your favorite Inter-faith Folk-Rock Quartet,

Just played our last show of the year in Ashland, Virginia. Earlier in the month, we had a fine run through the Southeast where we also sang the National Anthem for our first NFL game ever in Charlotte. You can read more about it in Mike's upcoming December journal entry (to be posted soon). Rarely do we attach photos, but we couldn't resist with the attachment that you should see below.

As we gear up for 2006, here are a few items to remember:
