We've re-engineered the CoB,O to make it easier and more enjoyable for us (and hopefully you) to visit the site. For awhile, both the old and new pages will run simultaneously, however the "old style" CoB,O won't be updated. Eventually the "old style" will disappear...

There is an article on Evan and Jaron in the August 24-26 USA Weekend Magazine (Sunday paper insert), with the following mention of Jimmy:

"One of their biggest supporters is Jimmy Buffett, a musician who is known for having famously loyal fans. Buffett saw Evan and Jaron perform in Atlanta a few years ago. Since then, he has helped them navigate the world of big-time music promotion - and even has shared a stage with them. 'They have the potential for a long career,' Buffett says. 'I love the way they sound. They sing these amazing harmonies without looking at each other. They remind me of the Everly Brothers. And they know how to really connect with their audience, charm them.'"

From The Vault returns with "Johnny B. Goode."

Living Soul's benefit Last Saturday in Lake Orion, MI for Offering Alternative Therapies and Smiles, Inc. (OATS) was a great success.

We disappeared for a few days because the web hosting company who supplied our server decided to unplug us without warning. So we're moving to a new server. The move will be messy like all moves, and there will be broken links and stuff may not work right, but we'll iron it out. In the meantime, surf around, see what works and doesn't (haha) and check out the new bulletin board.
