Moruza "Richmond"



Moruza "Weird Little Person"


Melissa Sunderland invited me over to her house for a Memorial Day cookout / band practice. Her new band Moruza (formerly The Leslie Dripps Band) took a short break this year for Leslie to settle down with her new baby boy. Only about a year ago I was rehearsing in this very room with Melissa for the final A New Dawn Fades shows. It was great to just sit and watch the interactions between the members as ideas flowed and improvements were made. Every so often one of the kids would run through the room fresh off the makeshift slip-n-slide to grab some food and check on the band's progress.

Love the drama of B&W pix. Music is a treat... Richmond ought to be the city's theme song. Long way from VA, but chillin' in Chicago. Really only about 17 degrees today :-)
