THANK YOU for your support, for coming to shows, for giving us shows, for buying and/or playing our music, back then and/or recently.
We still have a few of these left and dropped the prices. It’s Bandcamp Friday, after all.

Happy Friday.
Mixing down two live versions of songs we recorded before the last show. Man, am I lucky to have talented friends who work for cheap + beer. Thanks, Jeff Kearns
Hope to release these soon.

And here's the one of us covering Charlie's song "Blues for Whitefish Lake 1975." Listen to the original and compare.
Thanks for the vid, Ann Treacy

Just wanted to let y’all know that that was our last Muskellunge show.
I had lunch with John yesterday at Runyon’s- that’s our after practice hang out place, great fries- and he told me he doesn’t want to play out anymore.
It’s not the surprise that it was 30 years ago, when we had labels calling and I was expecting us to tour and, you know, go for it. We started this reunion with the simple plan of putting out the old songs as a way to honor them, and it was a big deal that John agreed to play a show - any of you who know him and our history know he doesn’t play out anymore. But things went well, and so we took it one show at a time.
Anyways, I’m sad, but I see the reunion was a way of getting my musical confidence back. So many door are open now, I am bubbling with ideas and plans, and I’ve made so many new friends and connections.
The timing is fine, I fell like in a good place to start on my own. I have been working on songs that are more vocal centered, like the one Charlie Parr and I collaborated on. We recorded it, so look for that on my own page,
Thanks for the support and following me, and us, along on this ride back into the past, coming full circle again into the present. Ben, Jesse, and I will still work together.
