Is What I Get

The moon and the stars have truly aligned. I feel as if I'm living a dream. In just a few short months with much hard work, my new band "Falling Upstairs" is a reality. A strong, talented and dedicated group of musicians have gelled so well that we're show ready and BOOKED!

Not just booked, but BOOKED! The demos are being well received and clubs seem eager to have us on their stage.

Thanks to Mike 'Groover" Hoover for believing in us enough to put forth the hard work necessary to take on a very difficult task. Bass guitar in a band like this is not easy, but you are making it sound that way.

Thanks to Dave "Comedy" Brown. Dude, you were there at the right time. When we needed someone who could guide us musically, you pitched in and made it happen. You know exactly how to play guitar in a track project.

Thanks to Keli Peacock. Your countless hours of talent in building the logo, the web site, for the long hours in rehearsal of handling the show, being there during the show when I needed you, herding T-shirts and all the other chores that go along with putting and keeping a band together. Your priceless.

Thanks to Steve Mitchell. I can't believe we found each other in an endless sea of redneck rock bands. I still can't believe there is someone out there who not only wants to do sophisticated pop/dance tunes but actually sees the value in it. You have taken 10 years off of my age. It's been an absolute joy working with you and seeing this through.

Thanks to all the FU fans. We'll be seeing you real soon thanks to all the great people mentioned above.
