DD,

Your website is awesome. Love the bands, the info, interviews, music, videos, photos, you got it all! I will definitely spend some time visiting Deaconlight, regular basis. I miss Steve's red guitar, he cooked. Drumming back in the eighties was hard work, still love rocking out, longer breaks needed. I have been playing more guitar and writing songs than drumming over the past several years. After leaving Gtown I had the opportunity to play with some great country bands in NC and VA. BACKSLIDERS in Raleigh, Kin Folk Band in Richmond. I just recently formed a new band "OUTERSPACE" named after my landscape company, can't get "Rid of Dailys. The band consists of me on guitar and vocals and my sister Martha on the ancient "Rhythm Bones". Her bones are "Giraffe". We are having a blast playing gigs. Hope you can come down to see us some time. I will let you know about some up coming dates. Also if your interested I have some OTHERMOTHERS footage from the BBC show whistle test, I would love to share. It has Bad Checks, Fetchin Bones, Connels, Accelarators and a Mitch Easter/Don Dixon interview at Mitch's Drive Inn studio. Hope you can use it.

Thanks for putting together this awesome web site. I am looking forward to spending some refreshing time with the music I love.

Best Regards,

Tommy Cowett
