Old photo, but current mood. #disgusted As the world turns, so do our stomachs. The music industry is collapsing in on itself. The price of everything has skyrocketed. And we are now positively certain that we live in the Divided States, not the United States. Come on, America, we can do better!
Hoyt and I have composed hundreds of demos that are still lying around, waiting to be professionally recorded. This is an interesting position for us to be in as songwriters, as we're both in our early 50s now.
So, cover songs, although they are a lot of fun for us, make us feel like we're cheating on our original material.
Hopefully, we'll both live to be a hundred years old so that we can get these songs to the finish line!
Hot as Hell 🔥 will be our next release. It's a straight-up disco-rock song. If you like Hot Stuff by Donna Summer, Blondie's Call Me, or I Was Made For Loving You by Kiss, you're gonna love Hot as Hell!

The ritual of getting ready to go out for a night on the town was just as important to me as the actual night itself. I would take my time, pop in my favorite Dead or Alive or Madonna CD, and pamper myself.
The room always smelled of my favorite Chanel fragrance, makeup, and bubble bath. On this particular night, I spent over 2 hours doing my hair. (And yes, that's my own hair, thanks to a Clairol product called "Born Blonde".) Looking back on it now, I might have overdone my lipstick application. But I always used to say that "too much is never enough." Making a bold statement was important to me.
The year was 1993, and I was 19 years old. And let me tell you, looking like this, I never got carded! ~ Hoyt
