and most importantly, being humble.

be the people that everyone in the world would salute.

Adrian of Rocket Scientist is currently recording some stuff with Ben Harrison from ETC.

Nigel Hogan of The Mother is back singing again, this time with IF.

Esam is putting the SR album on hold as Ahmad is flying all over the world playing for WOMAD. Instead, he's starting recording for his side project, Slowjaxx Does Dallas first. They will be playing next Monday at Bar None.

As for Throb, I know keyboardist Ying is v. busy with work. Hope she still stays in the band. Dharma told me the plan was to start recording at the end of the year. Hope they get down to it. Ray still owes me a breakdance!!!

Finally for B-Quartet, we are planning something for them. Hopefully, it runs through. Will keep you guys informed.
