Querkus News - October 2004

Hello Querkus peeps:

Yes, I ealize its been all about fits and starts for the Querkus. I have promised great things, and now it seems that the machine has started right proper and great things are once again possible. I'm sure each and ever one of you, being human and all - has gone through phases of all kinds. We certainly have in Querkusland... and the last 2 years have taught us lots about life and ourselves. One thing is for sure though... he place an incredibly high value on the music we make together and don't want to lose it, so we won't. So there's where my heart's at, and it pleases me.

So what are we DOING about it?
