"The Famous Unknowns"
	This project began as many do, as an idea to collaborate, write and produce some new material; and sing and play together. It was not to start a new band or be the seed of a tour or even make any real money, it was not forced. Originally, our intent was to keep things simple, light on the production and finish quickly. We wanted to offer followers of the Famous Unknowns (FU) some music from the highly successful songwriter's night concerts at Rogue's in Virginia Beach. Instead, we took 2 years, produced the hell out of it, had a blast and lost a lot of sleep. What we have is strong and it represents some of the best work from the FU heard in years. The support offered by friends, family and professionals in the industry made it happen in spite of the major record labels not willing to take the chance. Like we say at In Your Ear: "We Don't Care How they Do It in New York." Here's more proof.
Special thanks: Vicki Thompson, Cathy Chafin, Theresa Bruski, Marsha McGehee for giving up the husbands on their nights off. Cary McGhee for her encouragement. Carlos and Paul for their endless energy and talent, Kyle Davis, Bill Reid and Les and Lauren - At The Coast.
