Yes, Leeneia, I am that very same person. I still play with Margaret in the context of the Bittersweet Christmas Band. We did the last official Cooper & Nelson gig in late January of 2011. There was no big fallout, or anything exciting. My life partner, now spouse of 24 some years, Susan Urban and I had been planning on moving to the UP in Michigan for some time. After my dad died in 2009 we started firming up those plans. No one that either Susan or I played with from the Chicago area was crazy enough to want to move to the UP. Susan and I figured that if we were going to keep playing music, that we would have to with each other, so we formed the band February Sky (you can punch in my name on youtube and see videos from all sorts of incarnations). We didn't move till 2013, but bookings seemed to be falling off for C & N (we weren't alt folk, or any other sort of act places were starting to look for), so we thought officially calling it a day in 2011 made sense. Hope that wasn't too long an explanation.
