You were unknown to me until the Community Theatre performance. Everyone in the band is so talented. I would like to see you as part of Pete Seeger's Clearwater Festival. You would blow them away.

Having a difficult or down day?
10 out of 10 doctors prescribe listening to "Under the Radar". Please watch for these 3 side effects:
1.Your foot quietly begins to tap.
2.Your heart suddenly feels lighter.
3.Your eyes immediately start to see the brighter side again.
Anecdotal records also indicate that you may dust off your old guitar and find your voice again!

Great to see some fellow "old timers" still enjoying the magic of our music. Catchy tunes and good to see some of the old hange brothers out there.... (Whatever happened to Brett and Eddy?) and a Stillwater band to boot?

Hope to catch you soon.

Wow, seeing the photo of Hange Range brings back a ton of memories for me. My buddies and I used to see them play at the Schooley's Mountain in back in the 1973-74 era. We all attended WMCHS, class of '74.

Hi Bri,
I finally took the time to look at the pictures on your website....they are great!! Brings back great memories of every weekend dancing with Sheila everywhere Gold Dust played. Also loved all the pictures of the girls, they are beautiful! As I already told you I love the CD and am wearing it out!
Love to you, Nan and the girls,
Kathleen

Brian,
Awesome to see and hear you again after all these years! Mother Nature has been kind to you judging by your better than ever voice and somewhat handsome good looks!!! I was moved beyond words to experience the treasure trove of songs we heard done so very well. My kids all want to know if I really knew you before you became the famous rock 'n roll star heading up Wry Toast! I hope you enjoy the pix - they brought back some wonderful memories of the innocence of our youth. We will have to find a better way to stay connected on a more regular basis. Thanks again for an awesome afternoon at the Cheeseburger in Paradise!

I was impressed when I saw the band play in north jersey during the month of december. I was truly impressed with the vocals of young Kate. Her style and poise behind the microphone is astonishing. I am not a bluegrass/country fan, but I must re-evaluate my bias after attending a few of your shows. You guys rock!

Brian,
For once, I may be speachless. Thank you and the band for your support. I was only there long enough to hear your entire set, and it was GREAT! and everyone I've spoken to agrees. Again, thank you and hope to see all of you soon.

Hey Brian,

Wonderful website - especially enjoying the photos of the early days! Has anyone got any old Hard Luck, Bad Ass Band or Organized Confusion pix out there? Rumor has it that Rolling Stone has these under lock and key. Best of luck to you and your extended family for the coming year!
