Wow, I bet most peeps here in the states couldn't point to you on a map, but it's cool to see members from all over the world. As a matter of fact I am currently listening to a band from your land of birth, Trooper's "Knock 'em Dead Kids" album. Power Pop is a harmless addiction.
Do you mind if I ask what has kept ya'll away, or feel free to tell me it's none of my damned biz.
