Fingerprint

That is the title we have chosen for this collection of 11 songs. You may or may not have read our story on the fingerprint idea..but basically there are about forty people who have donated towards the costs of this album who also sent us their thumbprints which we have incorporated into the front cover image on the album. It's a beautiful design that Bruce is finishing up as I write this. We didn't decide on calling the album fingerprint until only about a week ago. We all like the name and feel it fits this album very well and not only for the reason I mentioned above. Somehow it just seemed like it was all pre-destined...but then again don't all the 'good' things in life feel that way?

I am seriously stoked about this album! It feels like the album I always hoped OG would have. Oscar (the producer) has done an excellent job with the production ... engineering and then the mixing...now we have just received the masters from a company we used in Colorado and we are very happy with their work as well.

This past week-end we played two shows. One at a big street festival in Leeuwarden and the other at a sunny Dunya festival in Rotterdam. The sun was shining beautifully in Holland. The masses came out. The square in Leeuwarden was packed by the time we took the stage! The crowd was massive at the Dunya festival. We played some of the new songs for the first time and they definitely hit the spot!

Til the next one! Big ups, Mike
