Welcome to The Party
PART ONE
Volume 4 of 6 Albums
Our House, with a sign displayed on the building peak, became the infamous party house on the Canadian border…THE place to hang out. When the guys weren’t the house band, they were constantly writing and recording. Because of the recording equipment then utilized, the songs were never completely finished. But recently, band members rediscovered the tapes and 6 CDs were finally completed in 2014-2016, in Houston, TX. We think you’ll be surprised…”
