Please the Press in Belgium

Here is a solid review from the land of Beer and Chocolate Roots Time Belgium

http://www.rootstime.be/CD%20REVIEUW/2010/AP1/CD42.htm

Influenced by the music of Bands like Led Zeppelin, The Beatles, The Smiths, The Cure, Cole Porter and Bob Marley, Stetson writes catchy classic sounding rock tunes recorded entirely analog that have that "live-on-tape" sound. Certainly some songs have hit potential - Freddy Celis

Happy Holidays

In Loving Memory of Les Paul 1915-2009

Without Les Paul we would still all be huddled around 1 microphone
playing acoustic instruments, hoping our audience could hear us.
