Historic venue for Pacific Northwest early Rock music, including the McCleary's own Titans. We had another band from town in that same era called the Ramrods.

To Our Comrades Back East

We realize summer has been sort of a bummer for you guys. First, horrible heat, then an earthquake, and now a hurricane.

All we have to complain about in terms of Mother Nature out here in the coastal Pacific Northwest this season is the unusual lack of real summer this year, since we've had mostly rain and overcast most of the time. Pretty mild in comparison to your trials.

Sarah and I have you in our thoughts.
