All I can say guys and gals is WOW!!! You guys just made my day!!! I'm Jaime the drummer. It's AWESOME that you guys remember and miss the good ole’ days!!! I know I speak for the rest of the guys when I say THANK YOU!!! I am humbled that we had such an impact on some of you head bangers! But it makes me feel good to know that and I know the other guys would say the same thing.
Those were the good ole' days weren't they. Every Saturday night felt like a concert to us and that's how we played. Didn't matter if it was 1 person or 50, we wanted to rock your tails off! And I hope that's how it came off. It was definitely the best band that I have been a part of. Playing for you guys was the biggest high! It was also awesome to see some of the things Steve could do with the guitar. I don't think there was ever a night of playing or practicing that went by, that he didn't blow our minds.
I now work as a Network Administrator for NASA at the Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville. I still play the drums and the acoustic guitar as well. I play the drums on Sunday nights at Highland Park Baptist Church in Muscle Shoals with the Praise Band. I also play the guitar with the College and Career Praise Band on Wednesday nights at the church. Not the same type music..lol… but fun none the less. 8) If you were at Louie Louie’s Saturday night of the Handyfest (the 28th) I was there with Fly By Radio and sat in on drums for a song with those guys. If you don’t know who they are then check them out.

Olwiggum, are talking about when Axes won the b of the b, or the time Witcher won when I was playing?
I do have good news about the Witcher archives.A few months ago, I did talk with Jeff, our engineer for the albums, and he does still have the master copies. We started talking about putting all that stuff on disc. That is not final yet and I haven’t talked with him since. I think it’s just a matter of us getting the time to do it. And we would obviously have to talk with the other guys as well. We’ll just have to see how much support from you guys on that.
I haven't talked with or seen any of the guys since the store burned. So I don't the where abouts or what the guys are doing. Yes I’m a loser in that category 8) but you have given me the incentive to do just that. I do know that Steve wasn't in the best of health.
I don’t know if any of the other guys post here, but witcher02 and good_ta_know PM me and tell me who you are cause you guys seem to know a lot of stuff about us.
Again, Thanks so much for the support you gave us back then and the support I see here today! It truly is very special to me personally, to see that you guys haven’t forgot! Me and a friend are constantly saying "oh remember back when Witcher did....". Being in Witcher was a time in my life I truly hold close to my heart. I know the other guys feel the same.
Rock and Roll FOREVER my friends!!!
Keep in touch!
