As the proverbial "stage mom"...I would just like to announce to the general population here that my two boys & two of their friends had a song from their first CD played on a local (very popular) radio station the other night! Since I consider you all my friends and support network...I decided to do a little bragging. (And besides...since I do not have any friends around here since leaving the JW's...I figured I had to have someone to announce this to!)
They had a nice story written about them in our local paper last week, along with a picture of the four of them back stage at Luther's Blues in Madison, WI. (A top notch music venue...they usually play in questionable bars, etc.) I wonder how all the elder's liked that? My youngest son was never baptized, but my oldest son is still "in" (well...he thinks he is still a JW but seldom goes to meetings...no service...no assemblies, etc.)
Anyway...before I get too obnoxious here...I am just so proud of them. They wrote all the songs on their album and though being prejudiced as their mom...we have gotten nothing but good reviews from people who have heard their CD. They're called Tree of Woe (don't even ask me about how they came up with that one!) and their CD is called Withered Oak. Of course it is only available locally...but if you would like to hear some bits of it you can go to their website at www.treeofwoeband.com .
Okay...I'm done now. Thanks for giving me a listening ear. I'll let you know when I become the "Sharon Osbourne" of Stevens Point, WI!!!
