Hi and welcome! George here; from now on this is a solo act....

Julius died on August 24, 2009 at the age of 93. He did not want for love, friends
or appreciation in his final battle against the leukemia and cancer he'd fought for so long.
Thanks to everyone for their love and support.

We come from the labor/folk tradition, and have sung for unions, churches,
peace and justice groups, bars and coffeehouses, and veterans' and nursing homes since 1999.
We hoped to keep singing
for many more years, at least until Julius hit 100.
But now it's just me and I will carry on the story of Julius' life and spirit.
