Believe me folks, this was a tough decision for us. As a self employed electronics technician, Dane made many sacrafices in his life in service to local musicians like ourselves. Just ask any player who's equipment broke down a few days before a gig, or even at a gig! Our rehearsal nights were often visited by dj's picking up power amps, sound guys picking up mixers, guitarists picking up their beloved tube amps, and keyboard players picking up their favorite battered up old synths. With bench rates well below the national average, Dane simply did everyting he could possibly do to keep the Miami Valley's rock, country, hip hop, metal and gospel musicians on the stage or in the studio. Therefore it seems obvious to us that it just wouldn't be right to let our perfectly functioning gear sit at home on a perfectly good Saturday Night. In honor of our friend, we've just got to suck it up and rock on in the way that motivated Dane to be the friend he was.  The show must go on.
