In 2007, when my friend & bandmate Billy Cairns passed away from cancer, I felt like an era in my life had suddenly come to an end. With that in mind, I decided to create a website which celebrated Billy's memory and the wonderful times we had making music together in the Freelance Vandals. Billy's departure has made one home truth come to light in my life...that music always maintains an intrinsic connection to our souls. Huzzah!

A Gentle Giant Intense Aware Kind Strong Loved to be the back beat Would always look you in the eye Laughed loudest Star Quality On Stage Worked up the best sweat Eyes closed, neck turned, into it Listening Crash Rat-a-tat-touch so light Came to life Looked you in the eye Sweaty bangs swung in rhythm Arms raised And crashed A child's smile A boxer's punch Head turned in his own world Adios King Adios (John Engelhardt 1/14/08)
