--- Fuzz, Have you been to the new version of Grand Funk with the
new guys? I have not.... i just don't understand the hold up in
making a new Grand funk CD with the new guys. Their is suppose to be
soooo Much Talent! It is aproaching three years and Nothing. Does
anyone know why they have not released a CD... Is it Legal Problems?
Mark should have formed a new band with other well known guys and
call themselves "High and Mighty". Just an Idea....
