Hotze quotes:

"This site is so dynamic, you're liable to notice a change between bottles of beer".

"This site is for those who love John, his music, & the music he loved".

.....and yes, putting a note in the guest book or dropping an email to me occasionally about the site, does go a long way towards energizing me to work harder to provide more music, video, & information.       .....Thank you - John Hotze
