Their site can be found at www.unclemonk.com. He's now playing banjo, mandolin and dobro. I guess there is life after punk music. |

For some, it's not too much of a reach in attitude from punk to folk, just in expression. Cool. Peace, Mooh. |

I've listened to a little bit of everything at one time or another. Maybe working in a record store and getting a nice discount helped. By the way I listened to a few of the songs on my lunch break and I enjoyed what I heard. I'll keep an eye out for this CD. |
