David M. Sherman, M.D. June 2, 1947 - April 17, 2007 We were deeply saddened by David’s passing. He was a wonderful friend. David gave me the inspiration for "Whisper of Magic" and provided the 12-string reminder of his philosophy, "It isn't how long you live that defines you. It's how well you live with the time that you have." He’ll always be missed. Our condolences to Eileen and the family. Reed

A Shining Example	Posted: Dec 8, 2006
John Douglas Edwards was born to Eternal Life Friday, December 8, 2006 after a long battle with cancer at the age of 51 years. I met John our freshman year at Marquette High.  He was bright but without guile and has made life long friends everywhere he went.  John had always been active in his faith and in parish life.  For several years he helped to coordinate the first retreat of the year at the Jesuit Retreat House in Oshkosh.  He shines as a true disciple. Family and friends can only grasp at the Divine plan. We’re not ready to be in a world without John Edwards, but we’re better prepared because he was with us.  He walked the walk and we’ll dearly miss him. PJ Novotny

Strange Happenings	Posted: Jan 20, 2006
Strangers to Truth enters at #1 on the Rock - Classic chart. The interlude that Reed dropped in as a new bridge is an echo of better times. Once Upon a Memory is still climbing close behind. This song is one of Reed's best and speaks clearly to all of us.
If A Song Plays In Your Head But You’re Not There . . .	Posted: Jan 8, 2006
PJ just returned from a four day silent retreat. He’s recovering from the fact that the last thing he heard before entering the Abyss was The Archie's “Sugar, Sugar”: "Pour a little sugar on it, oh yeah "Pour a little sugar on it, honey "Pour a little sugar on it, Baby "I'm gonna make your life so sweet "Hey, hey, hey . . . Blast that AM radio . . .

A Great Loss	Posted: Oct 6, 2005
Mr. Michael George Gibbins March 12, 1949 - October 04, 2005 We were deeply saddened to hear of Mike’s passing. He was a good friend and a great drummer. With or without his kit, you were good to go when he was behind you. He’ll be greatly missed. Our condolences to Ellie and the family. Reed

3, 2, 1 - Roll Me Over Again!	Posted: Sep 8, 2005
"Rock and Roll Me Over" has moved from #4. Reed's 4:00 A.M. pot boiler has been stepping through #3, #2, and into #1 over the long weekend. This song caught Larry Carlton's attention when it was being recorded in the next room. Nice to see that it has a Broadjam appeal.
With A Little Vibe From Our Friends	Posted: Sep 1, 2005
A few weeks ago we took a flyer at the Broadjam 6-Pack's second challenge, Open to Interpretation. We sent music inspired by the John Greenland painting, Harpo. John put us in the top 5 of his favorite entries . . . We are #3 in round 2. You can see the judge’s comments at: http://www.broadjam.com/contests/6pack/open/winner/winners.asp Thanks John! To update some earlier news, “Rock and Roll Me Over” and “Honey Lover” have carried over from the August Top 10 listings, at Rock Classic #04 and R&B Funk #06. Thanks to all who’ve been listening!
Broadjam and TAXI	Posted: Aug 31, 2005
Can’t say enough about the Broadjam to TAXI combo. Today we heard that we’ve made progress on the TAXI front, thanks to the ease of Broadjam's electronic submission mechanism. They are on our links page - check `em out!
So What If the Drummer Complained	Posted: Aug 22, 2005
After School with classic Reed: “Rock and Roll Me Over” is still in the Rock Classic Top 10 moving to #5 and reaching the Wisconsin Top 10 at #6.
A Swing at Late Summer Funk	Posted: Aug 22, 2005
A taste of success to get you out of that summer funk: “Honey Lover” pops in the R & B Funk Top 10 at #6, breaking the Wisconsin list at #10. Our friend Deborah Laura had a great hook. Working with Rodney Washington, she cut her vocal performance to a click track and we cooked it up with some Brownian motion.
An Ad Lib Rock and Rolls Us Over	Posted: Aug 16, 2005
Back to the School of Rock with a classic Reed ad lib: In mid August “Rock and Roll Me Over” entered the Rock Classic Top 10 at #9. This is classic guitar driven rock over a 4/4 to 5/4 flip that gets your toes’ attention, but PJ likes the lyric. Reed gets a kick out of that – it was a live ad lib as tape rolled.
An Old Warmup Shows Its Legs	Posted: July 14, 2005
